We anticipate that, sometime in the near future, the database will
have to expand beyond a personal collection. Two preliminary
moves in that direction have already been undertaken. The
Ellenville Public Library and Museum permitted its Delaware and
Hudson (D&H) postcard collection of 70+ cards to be scanned and
inserted into a separate Greenstone database. Similarly, the Erie
Canal Museum in Syracuse permitted us to create archival Tiffs of
55 postcards. Students then created derivatives and assigned
metadata on these cards, in addition to several they scanned
themselves.
