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,
Sarah Gillis | Assistant Registrar, Image Management
