How the White House Historical Association uses FotoWare to Preserve its Iconic History

"Before, if someone wanted an image from us we had to do everything via email and then send them the file transfer through something like Dropbox, which was very labor intensive and cumbersome for employees. Now, it means that something which previously took several days has been cut down to just a few hours."

READ CASE STUDY

Trusted by GLAMs (Gallery, Library, Archive and Museums)

"Previously, there was no single source of files. The photo department needed a tool to get an overview of all the assets, so we decided on a Digital Asset Management system."

- Vidar Ibenfeldt, Photo Archivist at National Museum of Norway
