We already have one submitted to ASIS and would like to get a CHI paper for next year. I think he worked with you this. He provided some good preliminary work but more needs to be done. Kathy Wisser is the GA on the project. Lots of metadata on the specimens and images too.
Database design is far along.
I have thousands of slides, taken in museums over several years. There is no reason why these images cannot exist in several forms, in any case. Viles - this might involve the design of a simple metadata scheme, entry of a small pilot database. Then search based on criteria that D. Carr provides. Might have input entry forms too.
