Media

In addition to the raw dataset, we are making available the corresponding media assets in the form of 350x350 pixel thumbnails. Media filenames are stored in the media.csv file which is a flat-file dump of our media table. This table includes the following fields:

• id
• filename

The id field is unique to each asset and is referenced via the media_id filed in the objects.csv table and elsewhere. You can use this relationship to match up media assets with their corresponding object records.

Each asset listed in the media.csv file is stored as a 350x350 pixel thumbnail on our media server and can be accessed via the following root domain.

http://data.cooperhewitt.org.s3.amazonaws.com/media/200

Simply append the filename to this URL and you should see the image in your browser as shown below:

NOTE: As these assets are hosted on our Amazon S3 server, you should be sure to lowercase the filenames when referencing them in your code or browser window. S3 is case sensitive, so all files stored on this server have been lowercased for simplicity.
