@jpekel

Open Image Archive

à Started in 2012 à Develop the web interface for our collection database, in

order to be able to display high resolution images. à Deliver linked open data and high resolution images to K-

samsök - the Swedish national aggregator for cultural heritage data.

à This would allow users to collect and build new applications using the data.

à Donate all of our high resolution images to Wikimedia Commons, in order to increase the reach of the material.

@jpekel

Image sale

à To cover the costs à Get image and send on CD-ROM à FTP-server radically reduced the costs à Give the public access to public material à Costs of maintaining the image sale higher than revenue

@jpekel

Image sale

@jpekel

“We  realised  that  our  curators  had  more  important  things  to  do  and  decided  to  abandon  

the  sale  of  images  all  together.”
