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.
