Cultural heritage digitization education tends to be a meeting place for different and sometimes conflicting interests and aims, involving skills in many diverse areas while also having to address varying issues from several different interest and target groups. This poses several challenges when designing the contents, strategies, and pedagogical aims of such education. While cultural heritage digitization in a library and information science context has been discussed on an international level, the situation in the Nordic countries is less familiar. The Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) has for some years been offering such education. During that work various problematic issues and challenges, to some degree perhaps familiar to several other digitization educators, have arisen. This paper describes the aims and nature of the particular CH digitization education at SSLIS, accompanied with a brief overview of Nordic CH digitization education efforts, and followed by a highlighting of ten particular challenges to launching and managing courses such as this. By identifying such challenges and discussing possible ways to tackle them, the paper opens up for discussions that can serve future education planning.
