Status Report on the Image Collections
Last Updated: November 6, 2011.
We have gathered almost 100,000 diverse images of Tibet and the Himalayas. We have published more than 65,000 images, which are available online.
We have developed a powerful new Media Management (MMS) system to publish the image collections within THL. To access the image collections go to http://mms.thlib.org/. The new MMS system adds a number of powerful new features. First, it provides place-referencing by means of the THL Place Dictionary, so that users can easily consult all the images of a given place. Second, it has a much more fully implemented tagging of images by subject keywords, so that users can easily find affiliated imagess. Third, it offers slide show presentations of specific subjects.
