The project is an outgrowth of the work of the Joint Task Force on Text and Image, supported by The Getty Grant Program. MAPS' final report to the Commission includes the following findings. Although there is at least one projection viewer manufactured in Europe, all U.A. fiche readers known to MAPS will project only portions of a full fiche. Paper copies of the A-6 color fiche images made with color duplicators varied in quality. Efforts to produce reasonable quality on a lower end model were not successful.
