Caitlin,
Excellent insight! Your current status quo is just like mine. I had
contemplated if a DAM would provide a benefit to accessing TIFFs, and so
it may based on your hopeful changes! Do keep me informed as you
transition!

Hi Sarah,
We currently create our original images as TIFF files, save them on an
archived server, and upload converted JPEGS to TMS for the size issues
you mention. We will be moving to a DAMS program in the next year
however, where TMS images would come directly from that source rather
than our current server. So after our DAMS integration, we may begin
linking the TIFF files rather than JPEGS.
For now though, we do have the TIFF files available to share with
exhibit designers or publications as needed. Just on a request basis.

Subject: Linking TIFFs through TMS
Hello All,
I'm curious to know who has decided to link their TIFFS to TMS for
internal access? When I was at the MFA, Boston, I remember seeing TIFF
files available for access, but TMS crashed a lot there and I wasn't
sure if it was due to the collection size (enormous, but awesome) or if
it was due to the TIFFs, which are large files themselves.
I wanted to know if any other institutions have had technical snafus
since linking TIFFs. I'm trying to make image access as easy as
possible for staff, an sometimes curators prefer TIFFs over JPEGs to
zoom in.
Our collection size it only about 38,000 objects, which has me leaning
to thinking that it's possible, but any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
