When you hear the term “digital archive,” you likely think of museums, historical societies, or libraries. Similarly, your donors and supporters will gain a better understanding of the impact you have beyond your immediate community or constituency. Use normal words and natural phrases when tagging and cataloging your files.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. I've long admired this museum for its all-encompassing commitment to community co-creation , and the visit was a kind of pilgrimage to their new site (opened in 2008). I'm always a bit nervous when I visit a museum I love from afar. I avoid them.

Get connected – be part of the community yourself by connecting with other organizations, community leaders, and individuals.

I've long believed that museums have a special opportunity to support the community spirit of Web 2.0 as physical analogs to virtual community platforms. People who engage deeply in any online community, whether a bulletin board or social networking site, want to meet in person. Me: Have you ever been to this museum?

You run a regional museum. Now, you have a new vision--co-created with trustees and community leaders--for a path forward. This is the plan that plunged the Berkshire Museum into hot water. Rockwell donated those paintings himself to the Berkshire Museum to be enjoyed in his home community. How will you pay for it?

Aren't art museums less open to participation than other kinds of museums?" I was surprised by her question.

Collection-tagging projects (in which visitors assign keywords to items in a collection) have always left me cold. Tagging is such a functional activity, and if you don't see direct benefit from doing it, the interest in it as a fun afternoon activity is pretty low. But I do it because it's useful to me as an organizational tool.

Audiences are a portion of the humans in the museum ecosystem. The reason I think of a museum as human-centered is that to become audience-centered your organization has to center people. Museums often don’t have enough clout to be about to be community-centered or audience centered on their own.
