I am curious to know how large museums are approaching
the digitization of their artifact collections. We started a digitization
program in 1994 and decided at that time to warehouse high resolution image
files (.TIFF) on cds, to store those cds in our photo archives, and to
generate from those cds 3 different sizes of .jpegs for use on our public access
site. Is this still the right approach? Is there a more effective
way of handling this situation?
Any and all comments would be
appreciated.
Thank you.
