The archival master stays the archival master.

Photo campaigns, condition photos, scans and documents sit in one library and are attached to the objects they belong to. Moliri also opens formats that a browser cannot normally show, without touching the original file.

One library for all projects

A file can belong to many objects and projects and still exists only once. For each file you can see where it is used, and unused files stand out. Detaching a file from an object does not remove it from the library, and an existing file can also be attached from another project. That way the library stays tidy, even after years.

In the handbook: File library

File dialog of the detail image “Detail: Craquelé am Bein” (craquelure on the leg) with a description, the keywords Detail and Zustand Eingang (condition on arrival), creator Demo-Bestand Moliri; below it “In fields”: not used in any field, and “Used as a hotspot in”: Stag at Sharkey’s, overall view; on the right the close-up of the paint layer.
For every file: where it is used, including as a hotspot

A photo campaign in one step

Hundreds of photos reach the right objects at once, matched by their file names. Large files upload in the background while work carries on. Moliri reads the creator, the date taken and the rights holder from the image data as it goes.

Files where they are needed

Conservators see the condition photos in their input mask, the registrar sees contracts and reports. Your institution decides which files appear where, using keywords such as “condition photo” or “main image”. The Word templates use the same keywords, for example for the photos on arrival and on return in the condition report.

In the handbook: File areas

Two file areas in the object view: on the left Zustand Eingang (condition on arrival) with four condition photos, on the right Unterlagen (documents) with the ZIP archive Klimadaten (climate data) and two PDF documents, each area with an Upload button

Archival formats with deep zoom

Multi-page TIFFs, PDFs, HEIC and camera raw files are usually not displayed by a browser. Moliri creates previews and zoom levels from them, and you can zoom into a large image down to the detail without loading the whole file. The original stays unchanged and still appears in the Word report and the Excel export.

Moliri recognises the text of a scan in the “Text” tab of the file window: in the browser, with the desktop app Transcribe on your computer, through the AI service or on the server.

Creator and rights on the file

Creator, licence and rights holder are attached to the file and apply wherever it is used. The picture credits in the catalogue come from the same details, and the image export selects images by licence, rights holder or keyword, for the press, say.
