Dear Flor,
We usually ask Swiss heritage institutions to upload the highest resolution they have.
There is a number of precedents you may refer to:
- Swiss Federal Archives
- Swiss National Library
- Historical Museum Basel
- Zentralbibliothek Solothurn
- Zentralbibliothek Zürich
- ...
Should we shortly discuss this off list?
Cheers,
Beat

Subject: [Commons-l] Minimum resolution image for Commons
Hello!
I am in touch with a museum that is thinking of uploading images to Commons. They are a
bit uncertain about uploading high resolution, but I told them the resolution they need to
upload just needs to be good enough for illustrating articles without being pixellated.
The thing is, I am unsure about the minimum size of such an image. I tried poking around
the instructions but didn't find a direct answer.
Do you know which size is "the minimum" that can be accepted on Commons?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Warm wishes,
--
