Digitization Procedures
All images in this database were scanned from 35mm slides, originally as 400dpi RGB tifs, scaled to 400 percent. They were later resized to the dimensions used in the database and saved as jpeg files. No other digital manipulation (cropping, color correction, etc.) has been used.
