Beret Balestrieri Kohn

Media Archivist

Milwaukee Art Museum

Beret joined the Milwaukee Art Museum in 1994 and has led the museum through the evolution of media from analog assets, where she continues to be responsible for the physical care and management of the museum’s physical media holdings. Then, beginning in 2003, she facilitated the museum’s transition to digital media, both in the creation and management of digital assets through various digitization projects, which include digitizing the museum’s formal imagery of the object collection, digitization of several of the museum’s historical archival media and document collections, as well as singular media collections such as the Brooks Stevens design archive. Her skills include in-depth knowledge of physical media care and preservation techniques, with years of experience in the direct digital capture of various media materials, along with expertise in database and metadata management of digital assets. Her work continues to enable the museum’s staff and the public to have vivid access to the museum’s collection and institutional history. She has a BA in Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, along with a Digital Asset Management Certificate from Rutgers University (to be completed in January 2021), and has maintained several professional organization relationships in digital asset management over the years, including being a member of the Visual Resources Association for nearly two decades.

What others say

HS DAM events wrangle an incredible amount of information into clear, managed presentations - facilitating one of the best virtual events I've been in. I continue to learn something new each and every session.

HS DAM events has set the bar for virtual conferences! Live sessions, engaging polls and questions boxes, chats with attendees, and virtual contests for swag...I don't know how a virtual conference could be more awesome! I look forward to this conference every year and the team at HS never disappoints!
