”… it was a matter of simple cost calculations to demonstrate that the supply of photographs was losing the museum large sums of money. Although we charged considerable sums for supplying images, the costs to us of doing so were far greater. So we automated the delivery of larger, publication-size files of the images available, so that anyone could order them themselves. Orders were dealt with by the computer, delivery was free and overnight, and permission to publish was attached. Needless to say, this facility has proved immensely popular, and so far more than 150,000 such downloads of images have been supplied – used not just for scholarly publications (…) but also by those who need to see the works in greater detail. The interesting point is that this has served our own interests as well. The costs of web delivery are very small, and the savings in staff time are huge (…) Yet our income from reproduction fees from the commercial world has actually increased, since our website acts as a giant picture library and we can supply files very quickly.”
