I'm pretty sure CC BY-NC-SA is not compatible with the licences on Commons.

They could be uploaded and used on en-wiki with a fair use rationale, the same as any other non-free image.

So can we put them on Commons?  Or use them from a Wikipedia file?

That it's a non-commercial licence is really disappointing, but that's
still a little better than nothing…

https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2020/04/28/british-museum-makes-1-9-million-images-available-for-free/


The British Museum has revamped its online collections database, making
over 1.9 million photos of its collection available for free online under a
Creative Commons license.

Under the new agreement the majority of the 1.9 million images are being
made available for anyone to use for free under a Creative Commons 4.0
license < " rel="noopener" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/>">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/>. Users no
longer need to register to use these photographs, and can now download them
directly from the British Museum.

Under the terms of the Creative Commons license, you are free to share and
adapt the images for non-commercial use, but must include a credit to the
British Museum.

Thanks Owen! The Natural History Museum did this with their Data Portal
< https://data.nhm.ac.uk/?_ga=2.238260164.53692689.1588158237-150062690.1588158237>
as
they were building it. Thanks to Andy Mabbet for letting us know that
high-res images of their specimens are now being uploaded on Commons

I'm an advocate for getting their bee specimens on Commons if anyone wants
to give that a go :)
