Hello Imagelib'ers,
Norbert Lossau of the Goettingen State and University Library submitted an entry in the Clearinghouse of Image Databases
for Gutenberg Digital.
http://www.library.arizona.edu/images/clearinghouse/clearinghouse.html I encourage you to view this Clearinghouse entry
because it includes a good deal of the technical information that we do not often find in our submissions. You will find
it list alphabetically by institution in the A-H and under the topical area Media--Objects, Prints, Artwork, ... Many t
anks to Norbert for including so much detail.
Gutenberg Digital http://www.gutenbergdigital.de/ is a very interesting site. I find that it incorporates a number of us
ful features. A valuable resource at many levels.
Regards, Stuart
