The Fragility of Code: How Museums Manage Digital Obsolescence
In the United Kingdom, the Collection Trust has addressed this complexity by developing specific tools for managing digital collections. A notable example is SKIN-ARCHIVES, a web software designed to provide the necessary tools for archive management. This system represents an attempt to institutionalize the management of digital heritage, recognizing that generic database management solutions are not sufficient for the specific needs of museums. The existence of tools like S-MUSEUM, an initial product developed by SKINsoft, shows the evolution towards next-generation platforms that allow cultural heritage management professionals to work with greater precision and control over their digital assets.
