Sign the agreement</h4> <p>Review the draft agreement and send us your comments/approval. We will then finalize the agreement and send it to you to countersign. There is no need to wait to start working on the RDb until the contract has been signed (which is nothing but a formality); in principle you could even start immediately.</p> <h4>2. Review the art historical data</h4> <p>Check the art historical information on your paintings and send us your comments, if you have any.</p> <h4>3. Gather and select your research material</h4> <p>Gather analogue & digital technical research documentation (both images and texts, such as UV photos, X-rays, conservation reports etc) and select which of these you would like to present in the Rembrandt Database.</p> <h4>4. Digitize the analogue material</h4> <p>Digitize the analogue research material you would like to present in the highest quality possible.聽</p> <h4>5. Gather information about research material</h4> <p>Find the information (the so called metadata) about these research files, in particular who created it, when, and why. Send this information to us.</p> <h4>6. Send research material to RKD</h4> <p>Send all digitized and born digital files to us, preferably via our FTP server along with a notification by e-mail.</p> <h4>7. Review the information in the database</h4> <p>Our team will enter the data and metadata in the database. When finished, we ask you to review the information and documentation.</p> <h3><strong>Launch</strong></h3> </div> </div> <div class="medium-3 columns rkd-right"> <div class="rkd-rightbar"> <div class="innerbox"> <h3>Contribute</h3> <ul class="nav menu mod-list"> <li class="item-144"><a href="collaboration-in-the-rembrandt-database.html" >Collaboration in The Rembrandt Database</a></li><li class="item-145 current active"><a href="7-easy-steps-to-launch-your-data.html" >7 easy steps to launch your data</a></li><li class="item-146"><a href="guidelines-for-collaboration.html" >Guidelines for collaboration</a></li><li class="item-147"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2gjp4Y2TQFlIyQzpTNm_A0f-roWH3zxjN7qcYk8pY7nnTuQ/viewform?embedded=true%20width=700%20height=520%20frameborder=0%20marginheight=0%20marginwidth=0Loading.../iframe" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'targetWindow', 'toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,'); return false;">Application form</a></li><li class="item-189"><a href="contributing-partners.html" >Contributing partners</a></li></ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> <footer class="rkd-footer fullwidth-footer"> <div class="row rkd-footer-height"> <a href="https://mellon.org/" target="_blank" title="Mellon Foundation" class="logo-mellon">Mellon</a> <div class="small-6 medium-3 columns"> <div class="moduletable"> <h3>Information</h3> <ul class="nav menu mod-list"> <li class="item-112"><a href="../about.html" >About</a></li><li class="item-113"><a href="../terms-of-use.html" >Terms of use</a></li><li class="item-114"><a href="../contributing-partners.html" >Contributing partners</a></li><li class="item-115"><a href="../in-focus.html" >News</a></li><li class="item-116"><a href="../disclaimer.html" >Disclaimer</a></li></ul> </div> </div> <div class="small-6 medium-3 columns"> <div class="moduletable"> <h3>Visiting address</h3> <div class="custom" > <p>Prins Willem Alexanderhof 5<br />(KB-complex)<br />2595 BE The Hague</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="small-6 medium-3 columns"> <div class="moduletable"> <h3>Contact</h3> <div class="custom" > <p>T: +31 70 333 9777<br />E: <a href="mailto:info@rkd.nl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">info@rkd.nl</a></p></div> </div> </div> <div class="small-6 medium-3 columns"> <ul class="rkd-footer-social"> <li><a href="https://nl-nl.facebook.com/RKD.nl/" target="_blank" class="icon-facebook" title="Facebook"></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/rkdnl" target="_blank" class="icon-twitter" title="Twitter"></a></li> <li><a href="https://nl.linkedin.com/company/rkd" target="_blank" class="icon-linkedin" title="Linkedin"></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-12 columns picturae"><p>website creation: <a href="http://www.picturae.com/" target="_blank">picturae.com</a></p></div> </div> </footer> <script src="../templates/cust-rkd-website-2/js/combined-fd976364f81ac62a2d84501893460e8a.js"></script>   <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-MR4GPD0HEX"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-MR4GPD0HEX'); </script> </body>  </html>
