In a method and system for provision of image objects in a digital image information system controlled by an electronic data management device, with a first long term data storage device for archiving of pixel portions of the image objects in a first data format and a second long term data storage device in which are archived pixel portions of the image objects in a second data format differing from the first data format, and a databank associated with the two long term data storage devices, text portions of image objects stored in the two long term data storage devices are stored in a first data format in the data bank. The text portion of the queried image object is read from the databank on the basis of an image object query, and using the text portion it is determined whether the pixel portion of the queried image object is stored in the first long term data storage device or in the second long term data storage device. If the pixel portion of the queried image object is stored in the first long term data storage device, the pixel portion of the queried image object is read from the first long term data storage device and the queried image object is subsequently provided. If the pixel portion of the queried image object is stored in the second long term data storage device, the pixel portion of the queried image object is read from the second long term data storage device, is converted from the second data format into the first data and the queried image object is subsequently provided.
