MA Digital Asset Management (MADAM)

The Centre for e-Research, in collaboration with the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, has established an MA in Digital Asset Management (MADAM) beginning in Autumn 2010.

The aim of the programme is to address an increasingly important area of library, archival and curatorial activity, namely the management of digital assets. This subject area is already of major importance across the cultural heritage sector and beyond. There are important considerations of curatorial and technical standards that arise throughout the ‘digital resource life-cycle’, from creation through management, access and dissemination to long-term preservation. These considerations and this life-cycle are the core subject matter of the MA programme in Digital Asset Management. We want students to acquire a great deal of practical knowledge, but even more we want them to develop their critical and reflective capacities, and to acquire an understanding of the inter-dependence between the developments in digital scholarship, technology and curatorial practice.

For an overview of the course and details of the core module and optional modules, including the work placement, vist the MADAM webpages.
