I would like to have a comprehensive site for images, but don't some museums get bent out of shape if you post images from their collections? I remember the British Museum sounding huffy about their image of the Legio XX antefix.<br>
Otherwise I say yes, since many of the images I've seen are not as good as they could be. I suggest that you set guidance for having several angles of the same artifact where possible, some reference for size, and maybe some judgement on color. Color is going to vary considerably with the lighting in display cases and elsewhere, between types of films, digital capabilities, etc.<br>
Then, once you have a photo to start with, subsequent visits can perhaps look at other aspects or zoomin for detail. <p></p><i></i>
