Scanning Specifications
WRLC has adopted the following standards for the 3 types of images created for each item:
| Master image | Display image | Thumbnails | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | TIFF | JPEG | JPEG |
| Compression | None | Medium | Medium |
| Resolution | Photographs and manuscripts: 300 dpi Color slides: 2400 dpi Typescripts: 600 dpi b&w |
||
| Bit-depth | 24-bit color | ||
| Dimensions | Actual size | Manuscripts: 800 pixels wide for both landscape
and portrait. Graphic materials and typescripts: 600-800 wide (landscape), 300-400 wide (portrait). |
150 pixels wide |
Some materials require a different approach. Any variations from the standard WRLC specifications will be documented as part of the project plan.
