History Computerization Project on the Internet
If you visit the History Computerization Project
(at "http://www.history.la.ca.us/history") you will find:
1) Annotated directories of hundreds of historical resources;
2) Historical photos on display; and
3) An online order form to request a free, printed,
History Database tutorial on the use of computer database
management for historical research, writing, and cataloging.
The History Computerization Project is building a history
information network for the exchange of information between
historians, librarians, archivists, museum curators,
preservation groups, and historical societies. The project
employs the History Database program, running on IBM PC
compatible computers. The program is used for both
cataloging and research with all types of historical
materials, including photographs, museum objects, archives,
books, journals, and oral history interviews. The course
textbook, Database Design: Applications of Library
Cataloging Techniques, by David L. Clark, is published
by the TAB division of McGraw-Hill.
