Case Study: National Historical Museums of Sweden streamlines image ingest with Axiell Collections and Axiell Ingest

Image Handling at the National Historical Museums of Sweden Ingest in Axiell Collections

National Historical Museums of Sweden, a newly formed government agency made up of six Swedish museums, needed a faster way to handle the large volume of new collection images created by its staff photographers. Their challenge was managing huge image batches efficiently while keeping key object information and license details embedded in the files for use in Axiell Collections.

Axiell implemented Axiell Ingest with Axiell Collections to automate the import of prepared image files, using metadata mapping, filtering, and import rules to reduce manual processing. The workflow lets the museum ingest hundreds or even thousands of images at once, with on-screen error reporting and logs, and has become vital to their collections workflow; the team also noted that a server-based version could create even more efficient import options in the future.
