Through detailed agreements with the AMNH Anthropology Division, data and=20 images of artifacts (captured over the past 10 years with the support of=20 NEH) are integrated directly from the AMNH Anthropology collections=20 databases)=85

AMong collateral scientific benefits: capture of more than 6,000=20 ornithology specimen records (previously unavailable) and transcription of=

To get at the imagebase -- and many more images than those presented in the=
