In adding images, you can only upload a single image. How do you prefer to have both obverse and reverse of the insignia? In some existing pages, they appear as 2 separate images - is that the preferred presentation? If so, how do you do that please?
Hello Megan!
Thank you very much for asking and for sharing your images. We are always thrilled to receive contributions.
In the main item page, you are correct, you can only add the featured image, which shows as the thumbnail in the grid page and as the opening picture on the product page. If you scroll down the main page and click into the first available version, there you will be able to add gallery images (as many photos as you would like!). The main page uses the first version images as its gallery.
It is a bit tricky, however, the researcher that handles contributions will certainly get the images to where they need to go! Please do not be discourages if the responses read 'declined' - it just means we've relocated the image into an alternative gallery.
Please let us know if anything is unclear. Thanks again for adding to the database!

Thanks! That worked nicely with some Kingdom of Saxony images over the weekend. Plenty more from where those came from…
Now it would be nice if you set up a framework for the German Democratic Republic (1949-1989) "East Germany" that was, you have all the historic Germany sections but not the modern ones, East & West, leading in to the current single Germany.
Awesome, thank you! We certainly look forward to it.
Our researchers are currently working on German Third Reich Organizations and adding images throughout the site. We will definitely get the GDR in eventually!
I have been doing a 'deep dive' into the GDR recently, so your researchers are welcome to look at https://medals.org.uk/germany/ddr/ddr-text.htm… note that I generally have larger/better quality images so once the framework is in place I shall add them here…
Great to hear! We love image contributions.
The link that was posted is currently leading to a "Not Found" page. Is it possible for you to post another?
Apologies, cold fingers!
Any update on when a GDR section will be added? I've nearly finished that section on my site.
Hello Megan,
Congrats! Your site is looking great.
Our team has changed a bit over the last few months. The main researcher has been focused on areas in the Third Reich, which are quite complicated and time-consuming. When the GDR goes up, we'll be sure to let you know! (However, it will likely be a while).
Thanks for your question and support.
