Architecture Image Project

Abstract

In the Spring of 1996, a group of Library faculty met with photographic services (the imaging group: Annette Burr, Gail McMillan, Gary Worley) to develop a plan to support the digitization, archiving, identification and long-term storage of slide collections. This group decided that they would launch a pilot project during the summer. Photographic Services would scan 200 slides place them on a server in Scholarly Communications. SCP staff would design and implement a prototype workflow, storage, retrieval and annotation mechanism using a metadata scheme developed by this group.

This document describes a preliminary proposal for implementing the requested prototype. The system must be fully in place by late summer 1996 so that teaching faculty can use it to develop course materials for the fall.
