Abstract: This case study discusses the process that the Webster Institute for the History of Astronomy at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois is following to create a trusted digital repository (TDR) for digital assets related to its library, archival and museum collection, particularly focused on images. Balancing the desire for a system that allows for access and use of the assets with a desire to apply principles of digital preservation, the Adler is working with a vendor to develop a TDR that not only emphasises preservation but also allows for some functionalities of a digital asset management system.
