The Zip File Importer looks for .zip files that contain TIFF, PDF, or video format files with XML files of the same name in order to match the object files to their respective metadata. Each XML file should include an XML export of the respective metadata for each object. In your .zip file, please be sure to have your images, video, or PDFs and XML files labeled per the following example if uploading a TIFF “Example.tiff” and “Example.xml” Please replace “Example” with your file name and insure the file extension is correct for the file you are uploading i.e. “.MPEG4”, “.pdf”, “.tiff”

Click Chose File to select your files as you would an email attachment. Be sure to include your image files and your XML files in your .zip file.

Note: There is a 2GB limit for the Zip File Importer.

Once you have selected your files click Upload

• If uploading large images i.e. a gallery of photographs, click Islandora Large Content Model
• If uploading a PDF, click Islandora PDF Content Model

Under Object Namespace leave the selection as Default namespace

Click Import

The status indicator at the top of the Import dialogue box will indicate if your import was successful.

After completion, go to the COLLECTION in Islandora and review the file.
