Digitized Images from the Trust Territory of the Pacific in the UHCARL PAC Online Catalog at the University of Hawaii Libraries

Abstract

The University of Hawaii Libraries received a federal grant to acquire scanning and digitized image storage equipment. The Libraries will be utilizing prototype CARLterm retrieval software jointly developed by the Boulder Public Library and the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries to preserve an important archival visual resource for Pacific researchers. The software links bibliographic records describing images with the digitized images themselves. Prior to digitization these photographs were not available for general research. A review of the progress of the project and a display of the images will be presented.
