Hola Rubén,
en hora buena! How long will you stay and how many hours.
Concerning the licensing process, we recommend the institutions to open an account on their name and have it verified (link https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Benutzerverifizierung to German WP article how to do it & in more general terms in English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_verification_service). After that procedure the institution is able to claim that they are in the position to upload and license their data files. Anyway this is what we believe. As Liam said the GLAM Wiki tool set is the best option for bulk uploads as soon as the data is linked to more specific metadata to each file, which is certainly the case in a museum.
Please feel free to come back for more information, when you like.

Hello Sara!
Thanks for your welcome!. That´s right, most of the images aren´t in public domain (mainly they are modern pictures, for example of pieces) so my intention is to upload them with an OTRS permission; what do you think, is it correct?.
Best,

Hello Rubén!, I'm a Wikimedian in Residence in Scotland - welcome to the world of GLAM-Wiki, and best of luck for your project. Hope it goes well!
Just to echo what Liam said - if the images aren't in the public domain,
do
make sure that you have the necessary permissions to release on an open licence. If you do - well done, that's fantastic! If there are any images on Flickr which are marked (or can be marked)
with
an open license, then you could use Flickr2Commons: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Flickr2commons, which is relatively
simple.
All the best, Sara Thomashttps://

Hello everyone!
From yesterday until January 7, 2016, Wikimedia Spain enters three state museums, the Museum of Romanticism, the Museo del Traje (Costume Museum) and the National Archaeological Museum, where I´ll work as wikipedian in residence.
Besides promoting the Wikimedia projects in the three institutions, it will be carried out various activities open to the public, like edit-a-thons and training sessions, aimed to explain how Wikipedia works and generate content related to the museums and their collections: the nineteenth century in Spain, fashion, ethnography and archeology. Another highlight will be the donation of multimedia files (documents, pictures or recordings) under a free license to Wikimedia Commons, in order to illustrate contents of the various Wikimedia projects.
The Museum of Romanticism has cataloged more than 16,000 museum pieces. It offers collections of paintings, miniatures, furniture, decorative arts, prints, drawings and photographs collections, which offer a broad panorama of the arts during the Romantic era in Spain. The Costume Museum has collections dedicated to fashion, costumes and ethnography, with a collection of over 170,000 pieces and documents; these collections date from the Middle Ages to the contemporary fashion of Spain. The National Archaeological Museum is, since 1867, the leading Spanish institution in the preservation of historical pieces. Its permanent collection includes over 15,000 items from Prehistory, Early history, Roman Spain, Greece, Egypt and the Near East, Middle Ages and Modern Age.
In relation to the uploading of files to Wikimedia Commons, what tool do you recommend me to use? (their files are not in public domain).
