The document summarizes New Zealand's efforts to digitize content from its museums through several initiatives. The National Digital Forum and DigitalNZ work with museums to make their collections available online through the NZMuseums website. Small museums benefit from having a web presence without much funds or expertise. The website uses an eHive collection management system and shares data through APIs and harvesting to integrate with other sites and allow different presentations of museum content. Copyright and rights issues must be addressed to allow legal reuse of digitized materials.
