The Military Collection digital archive recently passed a milestone: 25,000 images and counting. The first pictures were scanned back in 2004 and through the efforts of many staff and students, we have created the largest digital collection in Brown University Library. Special credit should go to Robin Ness, Ann Caldwell, Betsy Fishman and Henry Gould for directing this enterprise and creating the thousands of MODS records. There are still many images to scan and work is currently underway on the numerous portfolios and other items as well as scanning prints that were missed or need re-scanning. At the same time, the digital archive has been migrated to the Brown Digital Repository (BDR) and images can now be searched at: https://repository.library.brown.edu/studio/collections/id_619/ This is a much more versatile system and will allow corrections and changes to be made to existing data as well as new information that will enhance and contribute to the background and scholarship of the iconography. For example, it is hoped to add details such as publications and references relevant to a particular image or artist, and links to other collections owning similar material. Users are encouraged to forward any additional information that might be suitable or suggest any changes or corrections.
