A quick clarification on the 120MB file. In archival settings, this is 
considered the master surrogate (preservation master) and is not to be 
used for routine research/use. A lesser version (JPEG, PDF, etc) is 
generated for general use. You could say it's analogous to master negative 
microfilm, from which a positive film is created for use. With microfilm, 
the master negative is locked away for safe keeping and only to be used to 
make use copies (positives).
