**A easy test seems to be whether the image is marked as "Image not zoomable due to copyright restrictions"[http://collections.lacma.org/node/207557 1], has a copyright note (looking like ''

''[http://collections.lacma.org/node/237769]) or whether it has a download link. The text does not quite match the Terms of Use[https://www.lacma.org/about/contact-us/terms-use] and for that reason I would email LACMA just to explain what Wikimedia Commons is and which photographs were going to be uploaded. I doubt that the LACMA could offer much more that is already in the online gallery as curator and conservation notes and so forth, are likely to have unclear copyright. (BTW some images have extensive curator notes available.[http://collections.lacma.org/node/228840] I would check whether the full text is intended to be reusable, off-limits as "Protected Content" as defined in the Terms of use, or whether a limited extract might be okay, such as the first 50 words as I have done with other batch uploads.) --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 07:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

**An easy filter in LACMA's website search is "has_unrestricted_image", so this might either be better than the above checks or be run in addition to them. See this example search ''http://collections.lacma.org/search/site/?f[0]=bm_field_has_image%3Atrue&f[1]=im_field_chronology%3A14337&f[]=bm_field_has_unrestricted_image%3Atrue'' for unrestricted images of ancient artefacts (1,816 images); in practice the upload might usefully be staged by chronology as by default this starts with the least possibly contentious in terms of copyright. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 09:09, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

*'''Question''' I am close to finishing a nice mapping using BeautifulSoup to general image description pages, but I have problem in the way LACMA appear to have "updated" their website. We have an prior upload of [[:File:Man's silk waistcoat with sleeves c 1715.jpg|an 18th C. waistcoat]] at a very high resolution of 4,000x6,000+ px. The original source is at [http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=159291;type=101] but I cannot see a way of getting from the current catalogue entry [http://collections.lacma.org/node/213804] to that old version. The new system shows 5 images, the first duplicates the old upload but is half the resolution (when the expanded button is selected) whilst the other 4 are good detail shots that appear clipped from the high resolution one we already have. Unfortunately id=159291 is the only relevant old reference and there is no mention of that number anywhere on the new catalogue entry, or the id's for its images. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 22:37, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
