For “Live” collections on the SCAN portal collections should upload images directly to the portal. A copy of images are saved on the server and each collection should save their own copies. Images can be uploaded individually while entering a record but most people batch upload images.

There are some Snapshot collections that directly upload images to the SCAN portal.
