Basic Infomation Needed for Submitting Digital Originals

From time to time, you will want to give us original digital files that you or someone in your department have created. Please always give us the versions with the highest resolution. If necessary, we will derive access-level files from them. Here is how you transfer the files to us

1-Put the digital assets in the FORARCHIVE folder on Cousteau. Everyone should have write access to this folder using your regular network password. If you don't, let us know.

2.Every time you put one or more digital originals in that folder, please email us the following information:
a-a sense of the names you used and how many files are there (for example, 17 "duck-into" files)
b-name(s) of photographer(s)
c-rationale for the creation of the assets (examples, "pictures of families," "eclipse event," "ariel shots of the floor, " pdfs of new Ex-Net exhibit manuals)
d-what dept/person commissioned the creation of the assets
e-named people if known or appropriate
f-where the consent form is if applicable
g-exhibit name if it isn't obvious
h-whether or not indexing the assets is a rush job
i-anything else you think is important

We give the uploading of new assets a very high priority. Check back in a few days to see if we have processed them.
