Exploring Charging Models for Digital Cultural Heritage
The full final report for the HEDS study. The purpose of this study (on behalf of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) is to investigate some of the underlying assumptions being made in the move from previously analog photographic services into the realm of digital capture and delivery, in particular to look at how marketable, cost efficient and income-stable the new digital services and resources are in comparison with previous methods (which in many places still exist alongside the newer digital developments). The study, through interviews and comparative modelling of costs and fees charged, illuminated the differences in practice for the sale of analog versus digital formats.
