It would be great if as well as lobbying our heritage institutions, we 
could also lobby the funders that could help those cultural 
organisations to do this kind of work. Lack of awareness amongst 
cultural professionals isn't necessarily the biggest barrier here.

The administrative processes involved in rights management are costly 
and time-consuming for libraries, archives and museums, and sadly are 
almost devoid of the 'sexiness' that seems to get things funded. These 
organisations are pushed to the limit right now - mandates and public 
expectations are expanding (quite rightly so), but where's the support 
for these increased activities?

This is particularly true for retrospective processes - perhaps we might 
see more benefit if we focussed on helping those organisations work 
through what's required to change their processes for their future 
acquisitions?

Cheers
Sam
