SEI provides new professionals, current library school students, and mid-career professionals from a wide range of related fields the opportunity to stay current in an ever-evolving field of managing cultural heritage and visual information. Early-career museum professionals, archivists, visual resources professionals, digital librarians, art and architecture librarians, and digital project managers; current and recent graduate students; and others in related fields are all encouraged to attend.

Upon completion of the Summer Educational Institute, participants will gain the ability to:

  *   Develop strategic approaches for digital stewardship concepts such as copyright, accessibility, cultural heritage metadata, etc., tailored specifically for digital collections in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM institutions).
  *   Apply introductory and ethically sound digital curation and preservation practices to enhance visual material digital collections.
  *   Tailor the digital stewardship lifecycle to accommodate the diverse needs of relevant communities and stakeholders.

Curriculum
SEI is designed to serve a wide range of information professionals eager to learn about best practices and/or update job skills in digital collections management and to provide significant networking and professional development opportunities. SEI presents a comprehensive introduction to the digital life cycle and a curriculum that addresses the requirements of today's cultural heritage and visual information professionals, from designing and implementing a project to sharing the final product with others and ensuring its preservation and access. This intensive workshop features a curriculum taught by expert instructors who cover:

  *   Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights
  *   Project Management
  *   Digitization
  *   Hands-on DAMS and Collection Management
  *   Inclusive Description
  *   Digital Accessibility
  *   DAMs and Digital Repositories
  *   Digital Preservation

Registration

Historically, SEI sells out within 2-days of registration opening. So, we’ve increased attendance to accommodate more attendees! SEI 2026 will be capped at 55 attendees.

This year Registration will open on April 14, 2026 at 12pm EDT / 9am PDT.
