| Content: |
Scanned images (TV broadcast resolution: 756x560 pixels
in 16.7 million colours). Images are compressed using JPEG. Quicktime has been
incorporated, allowing use of VR and interactive movies. Each image has an
complete bibliographic record and all words in the record can be indexed and
searched. Both the descriptors and the search strategies are under
review.Currently the database consists of over 1000 images, primarily of
Queensland historic buildings. These images include a wide range of domestic,
public, mining and agricultural buildings which have been photographed over the
last 27 years. Many of these buildings are previously unrecorded in any
accessible form and several have since been demolished. |
