Challenge
Description
Funding	Digitization can be a time-consuming and expensive process, requiring specialized equipment, expertise, and funding. This can be a significant barrier for smaller institutions with limited resources.
Technical Resources	Digitization requires specialized technical resources, such as scanning equipment and software, which may not be readily available to all institutions in Azerbaijan.
Standards and Guidelines	There is a lack of standards and guidelines for the digitization and preservation of cultural heritage in Azerbaijan, which can lead to inconsistencies in quality and accessibility. Developing standards and guidelines can help to ensure the consistency and quality of digital materials.
Copyright	Many cultural heritage collections in Azerbaijan are subject to copyright restrictions. Digitization can raise legal and ethical issues, such as how to balance access to cultural heritage with the rights of copyright holders.
Cybersecurity	Digital cultural heritage is vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can compromise the authenticity and integrity of digital materials. Developing cybersecurity protocols and ensuring the security of digital infrastructure is crucial for protecting digital cultural heritage.
