Abstract
This paper describes preliminary conclusions from a long-term study of cultural heritage digital collections. First, those features most important to cultural heritage digital libraries are described. Second, we list those components that have proven most useful in boot-strapping new collections.
Primary funding for this work comes from the US Digital Library Initiative, Phase II: http://www.dli2nsf.gov. A substantial portion of the support from our work came from the National Endowment for the Humanities (http://www.neh.gov). International Digital Library grants from the NSF and Deutsches Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG: http://dfg.de) and from the NSF and the EU have also contributed substantially to our recent work.
