[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Image hosting for Aspace

[Nic Stanton-Roark]

Thomas,

Having looked into flickr a bit, I don't think it's a usable option, at
least not for the kind of direct hosting we wanted to use it for. They
actively discourage direct linking to the image unless a link to the
photopage on their domain is provided as well, and if they discover that
users are backdooring the process they consider it a violation of the TOS
and may deactivate your account.

I think we'll continue using Omeka, but I wish we had a quicker, messier
option for bulk uploads that don't need metadata associated with the
photos.
