Abstract: Digital curation - or Digital Collection/Information Management - now in its infancy, will arguably become a major activity for all types of cultural heritage institutions in the not-too-distant future. Each type of cultural heritage institution has its traditional curatorial practices for physical objects; however, when the objects of concern are digital files, the possibilities for sharing best practices for managing digital collections and learning from each other are wide open.
