Publish Magazine has an excellent overview of Image Management
databases in the February 1997 issue (page 64). I get the hard copy
in the mail, but they post the articles to their Web site at
www.publish.com so you can check there.

Hi there all


I have just taken up a position as photographer, at a School of
Architecture
and have be given the job of trying to sort out, some sort of system
or
archiving the existing and new slide collections.


The current situation is:- several large filing cabinets full of
slide
sheets of 24 slides per sheet, some of the slides have details on but
the
majority don't.
The first task we have is to cull slides, that have no significant
value and
then to sort the rest into some sort of searchable database.
Eventally we
would like to have low res images to search and view, with a
referrence to
the location of the original image.


We have a Nikon LS 1000 slide scanner with a SF-100 auto slide
feeder,
access to a CD writer and a very good computer network within the
school.


Does anybody have any suggestions for databases (for architectural
subjects), programmes to help make this task easier or acheivable?


Thanks Paul
