The Digital South Asia Library[edit]
- Source to upload from: Bond Photograph Library, Keagle Photograph Library and Hensley Photo Library
- Did you observe an URL pattern
For Bond photos, the direct URL to the images is http://dsal.uchicago.edu/images/bond/images/large/bond_NNNN.jpg
For Keagle, it is http://dsal.uchicago.edu/images/keagle/images/large/NNNN.jpg
The "NNNN" is a 4 digit number.
For Hensley, it is http://dsal.uchicago.edu/images/hensley/images/xNNN_large.jpg. The "x" is a small case letter, and the "NNN" is a 3 digit number.
- Do you know whether the site has an API
?
- What else can ease uploading (is the site valid XHTML, WCM they use…)?
?
- Did you contact the site owner?
No
- Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):
All the files are images taken of South Asia (mostly India and Burma) during World War II by American servicemen Glenn S. Hensley, Robert Keagle and Frank Bond.
- Which license tag(s) should be applied?
- Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?
The regular "Information" template should be fine. Co9man (talk) 08:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Opinions[edit]
- I harvested all the Bond [1] and Keagle [2] metadata (about 700 images total). Hensley is difficult because the search seems to be broken and the IDs don't follow the same pattern as the others - I let them know, maybe they will fix it soon. BMacZero (talk) 05:24, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- I've been told that Hensley's photos were not taken as part of his official duties, and therefore aren't public domain. In addition, while the Bond and Keagle images are technically public domain, the text at the bottom of [3] lists some restrictions that would make the image unsuitable for Commons. Not sure if/how to proceed. BMacZero (talk) 16:55, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
