16 GB total or 16 GB each image? I assume total, as

It is total 16 GB in the JPG-Version. The originals are TIFF with 40 MB
each. I use perl and ImageMagick to convert this in JPG. So we can
easily work with this file and a local website to add metadatas and
categories. The publisher set the limit solution for the upload at
comman to 1000 pixel on the short side. So we will upload each postcard
with approximately 1000x1500 pixel. This is not much but better than
nothing and there are some very interesting postcard in this collection.
postcards. I don't know about your bandwidth but
that should be quick to
upload. You can for instance use scp or SFTP to upload them to Tool Labs
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs and it will be easy
for anyone, including Wikimedia Germany, to pick them up.
Ok, this could be a way. I can upload this picture at Tool Labs with
SFTP. And then I have a URL like
https://tools.wmflabs.org/my_project/images/00001.jpg
Yes, I have enough bandwidth.
One more question: Should we upload TIFF or JPG? Ok, TIFF is a lossless
image format. But I think JPG is more in use.
