Hi Rubén,

I would be able to help you use the GLAMwiki Toolset if you would like.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset

The first thing you need is to get the user-permission for the account you
will be using to do the upload.
The instructions for setting up are here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset#Instructions

Step 1 is to create a user-account here:
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page
and ask for the user-permission on Beta:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset#Asking_for_user_rights
This is where you can do your testing.

We can then work on step 2 (whitelisting the GLAM's domain) and 3
(exporting their metadata in XML) but we can do that offlist ;-)

By the way - when you say 'their files are not in public domain', do you
mean that the GLAMs are going to share their own copyrighted images under a
free license? In which case - that's great, congratulations. However, if
they're not - then you'll need to negotiate that first, before we even
start with the technical side of uploading.

Sincerely,
-Liam / Wittylama

Peace, love & metadata
