I am new to this list, and I am sure that this question has come up before.

We are setting up a web site to dsiplay 2,500 historic photos along with curriculum guides and suggestions for teacher and student uses. We are using MARC to catalog the images, but are exploring the many methods of converting some MARC fields to HTML. I know that we will need an intermediate database, such as ACCESS to hold the records, then either convert them to individual HTML files or use a CGI to convert them on the fly.

What have you folks done out there to convert your MARC records to a standard database, like ACCESS, and how have you converted these to HTML? Your help is greatly appreciated!
