Abstract

The Australian War Memorial is a large and complex museum research institution. It has recently introduced a multi-million dollar computer system to control and assist in every facet of the management of its collections. The use of on-line image retrieval of collection material is a major Integral part of this system, not only for client access to collection material but also for basic documentation purposes. The author examines the role of images for collection management in some depth.
