Very high resolution
digital images exist for almost all our collection, the few exceptions being
those works that are very difficult to move and those that have been on long
term loan to other institutions for a long period. This is due to two factors.
1)
The National Galley collection is small; only 2301 objects, mostly
paintings.
2)
In the 1990s the Gallery’s Scientific Dept participated in a
European Union project (the MARC Project) to develop a format for capturing
very high quality digital images of art works. In 2001 our Photographic Dept
used the MARC technology to digitise the whole collection. Since then they have
managed the creation and dissemination of derivatives from these master images
for an increasing number of Gallery purposes (e.g. separate tailored sets of
JPG format derivatives for public-facing systems such as the website,
interactive kiosks and the ‘print-on-demand’ retail system). TMS
displays JPEG derivatives; the master images are catalogued in a separate Photographic
Dept database that was developed in-house and is integrated with TMS.
Scientific Dept continue to research image technology and to find new ways of
applying and extending the uses of the MARC master images.

Everyone,
After writing my last email regarding images, I was
curious – what percentage of your collection has a digital image in
TMS? My Museum has just over one-third with images. Is this on par
with others? Are there museums out there with 100% image representation,
and if so, how did you accomplish that?
