Photograph and other art objects

For photographs and other art objects, we group files into batches.  For example, the following batch contains a set of JPEG2000 files.

...

  • Hard disk, flash drive
    • The repositories can borrow the media from Imaging Services or pay for them
    • Recommended for large sets of data
  • Google shared drive
    • A google account from the data recipient needs to be provided to Imaging Services
  • MS shared directory
    • The data recipient's email address needs to be provided to Imaging Services
    • Suitable for small sets of data
  • Secure file transfer (https://filetransfer.harvard.edu)
    • The data recipient's email address needs to be provided to Imaging Services.
    • The data recipient outside Harvard University needs to set up a guest account.
    • Suitable for small sets of data which need encryption during file transfer.

    Batch level identifiers are assigned to groups of titles prepared and submitted together for scanning. These named “batches” will be maintained from scanning all the way through deposit to Harvard's Digital Repository Service and transfer of data to project partners beyond the Harvard libraries. Inclusion of technical metadata is optional.
