[Genealib] Storing high resolution digital files

[Karen Miller]

Our library is a participant in a cooperative online
database called Digital Past.  The participants  scan
and catalog photographs and documents that previously
were only available onsite.  The server housing the
database can only accomodate low resolution images
suitable for viewing online.  The high resolution
archival images are the responsibility of each library
to handle on their own.  The files are taking up a lot
of space on our library's server...way too much space
I've been told.  I've tried burning CDs, then DVDs,
but the process is tedious and sometimes unreliable. 
I want to be archivally responsible and maintain the
high resolution files if I can.  What do other
institutions do with their archival digital TIFFs?
