At the Brooklyn Museum, the Digital Lab is a separate department answering to the Deputy Director for Administration -- parallel to Technology. We handle all imaging (photography & scanning), digital asset management, licensing in and out, and copyright, plus managing still and film shoot requests. Staff of 6 (2 photographers, 1 R&R/shoot manager, 1 picture researcher, 1 imaging archivist, plus myself, dept. manager, database and copyright nerd) plus 2-3 unpaid interns at any given time.
Needless to say, we work closely with Tech staff, who handle the network side of our DAM; with Collections, where we interact with TMS; and with all the various departments who use and request images: design, public info, development, publications, curatorial, exhibitions, libraries/archives, education -- pretty much everybody.

Are you combining these into 1 department? Or are they two separate departments? I understand some larger museums may have 2, but what about medium and small-sized museums? And what responsibilities are covered under your “Digital Media” umbrella? Also, do you have an org charts to share that may give a sense of overall structure? Thanks!
