Digital Asset Management for Museums

Built for Museums

Organize, preserve and provide access to collection assets with museum digital asset management software.

Museums manage digital assets ranging from collection photography and archival records to exhibition materials, oral histories, research resources and marketing content. As collections and digital access initiatives grow, keeping those assets organized, discoverable and governed becomes more complex.

Built for the unique requirements of museums, NetX brings together digital collections, metadata and related files in a single platform. Flexible metadata tools, AI-powered search, and collections management system integrations help staff preserve context and make approved assets available for exhibitions, education and public engagement.

Connect Digital Assets with Your Museum Collection Management System

Museums often use museum collections management software or museum management systems such as TMS to manage object records, provenance and exhibition history. A DAM manages the photography and other media associated with those records. When the systems are disconnected, staff spend more time searching, reconciling information and updating metadata.

Through integrations with collections systems, including the TMS museum collections management system, NetX keeps assets and records connected. Open APIs, synchronized metadata and automated workflows reduce duplicate data entry and support more efficient collections management.

Improve Access to Collections for Curators, Archivists & Researchers

Accurate, consistent metadata makes collection photography, archival records, research materials and other digital assets easier to find. Without it, curators, archivists, registrars and researchers may have to search across systems or rely on incomplete information.

Flexible metadata, controlled vocabularies, AI-powered search, speech-to-text indexing and advanced filters improve discovery across institutional collections. Staff can locate relevant assets faster while retaining access to the collection information that gives them context.

Preserve & Scale Digital Collections

Digitization continues to expand museum collections beyond still images to include video, oral histories, archival documents, exhibition materials and other rich media. Institutions must keep those resources accessible while preserving original files, rights information and governance policies.

NetX supports growing digital collections with flexible metadata, rights controls, configurable permissions and rich-media workflows. AI-powered speech search and IIIF capabilities improve discovery across high-resolution images, video and audio while supporting long-term stewardship.
