order to be able to display high resolution images.
Deliver linked open data and high resolution images to Ksamsök - the Swedish national aggregator for cultural
heritage data.
This would allow users to collect and build new applications
using the data.
Donate all of our high resolution images to Wikimedia

To cover the costs
Get image and send on CD-ROM
FTP-server radically reduced the costs
Give the public access to public material
Costs of maintaining the image sale higher than revenue
Image sale
“We realised that our curators had more important things to do and decided to abandon the sale of images all together.”
