LoCloud  Conference  5th  February,  Amersfoort,  Netherlands  The   final   conference   for   the   LoCLoud   project   was  held   at   the   new,   purpose-­‐built     premises   of   the  Netherlands   Cultural   Heritage   agency   (Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed   -­‐   RCE)   in   the   historic  town  of  Amersfoort.   The  event  was  opened  with  a  welcome   from   Henk   Alkemade   from   RCE,   who   is  one  of   the  partners   in   LoCloud  and   responsible   for  collecting  information  from  the  many  museums  and  institutions  across  the  Netherlands.  

 

The  LoCloud  Co-­‐ordinator,  Ole  Myhre  Hansen  from  the  National  Archives   of   Norway,   introduced   LoCloud   with   the   first  presentation,   explaining   the   goals   of   the   project   and   showing  some  examples  of  the  content  provided.  An  important  aspect  is  the   micro-­‐services   developed   to   enrich   the   metadata,   along  with   the   aggregation   tools   MINT   (for   mapping   metadata  schemas   to  EDM)  and  MoRE   for   the  aggregation  and   ingestion  to  Europeana.    

He   was   followed   by   Henning   Scholtz   who   presented   the  Europeana   Business   Plan   and   the   aspects   that   are   interesting  for   data   providers.   Europeana   are   in   the   second   year   of   the  2015-­‐20   strategy   which   aims   to   create   value   for   partners,  improve  data  quality  and  open  up  the  data.  He  talked  about  the  Publishing  Framework  which  provides  four  tiers  of  participation  which  depend  on  the  quality  and  richness  of  the  metadata  and  also   the   new   Thematic   Collections.   The   Europeana   mantra   is  

“Less  is  more”,  i.e.  fewer  high  quality  items  is  better  than  large  numbers  of  lower  quality.  

Partner  Showcase    The  partner  showcase  demonstrated  the  breadth  and  variety  of  content  provided  by  a  selection  of  the  partners  in  the  project.  

Belgrade   City   Library,   Serbia   -­‐   Jasmina   Ninkov   and   Predrag   Djukic  The  Belgrade  City  Library  is  responsible  for  dissemination,  workshops  and  advocacy  along  with  other  Balkan  partners  (Slovenia,  Croatia  and  Serbia,  Macedonia,  Albania  and  Bosnia-­‐Herzogovena).    

They  held  five  workshops  with  more  than  one  hundred  and  twenty  one    participants  from  different    libraries   and   archives.   Their   dissemination   was   successful   despite   technical   difficulties   (e.g.   bad  internet  connections,  old  technology).  The  library’s  favourite  content  was  a  rare  collection  of  music  education   materials   for   blind   students.   In   the   future,   the   library   will   be   continuing   with  

2    

dissemination   and   advocacy,   the   LoCloud   Collections   and   e-­‐learning   course   and   they   are   also  preparing  to  have  a  National  Aggregator  in  Serbia.    

Discovery   Programme,   Ireland   –   Louise  Kennedy  The   Discovery   Programme   provided   a   lantern   slide  collection  (pictured),  along  with  other  content,  which  documents   early   20th   century   Dublin   very   well.   This  required   digitisation   by   a   team   of   volunteers   who  were   given   training   on   the   LoCloud   services   as  well.  The  Royal  Society  of  Antiquaries  of  Ireland  interaction  has   benefited   from   the   impact   of   making   content  available,   including   better   internal   metadata.   The  Discovery   Programme   has   supplied   images   of   the  

Ogham  standing  stones  –  this  required  EPI-­‐DOC  mapping  to  EDM.  Also  Aerial  photography  –  over  six  thousand  mostly  b/w  images  of  archaeological  sites  from  the  Leo  Swan  Collection.  These  provide  a  record   of   changes   to   the   landscape.   A   small   workshop   of   Irish   archives   responded   positively   to  LoCloud  tools  and  services.  

Fondazione   Ranieri   di   Sorbello   Collezione–   Giulia   Coletti  The  House  Museum  Palazzo  Sorbello    (FRS)  provided  seven  thousand  and  five  hundred  items  from  its  museum  and   library.   Thanks   to  dissemination,   FRS   found   three  new  partners  with   small   specialist  collections.   FRS   spent   the   first   two   years   cataloguing   their   collections,   learning   the   tools   and  ingesting  their  material,  and  supporting  the  new  partner  content  producers  in  year  three.  Examples  of   content   include   two   hundred   and   sixty   games,   painting,   medals,   old   family   photographs.   Two  different  routes  were  used  to  supply  content  to  Europeana.  Fondazione    Capitin  and  Istituto  CP  used  the  LoCloud  Collections  and  BF  Barbanera  used  MiNT  and  More  for  their  four  thousand,  five  hundred  items.  

Hacette   University,   Turkey   –   Tolga   Cakmak,   Bulent  Yilmaz  and  Ozgur  Kulcu  The  HU   team  used   their   experience   from  AccessIT   project  and  helped  Koc  University   to  provide   its  VEKAM  collection  of   postcards   etc.   HU   implemented   distance   learning  between  December  and  January  this  year  with  seventy  nine  participants.   LoCloud   has   help   increase   the   amount   of  Turkish  content   in  Europeana  by  2%.  The  project  has  been  

disseminated  to  over  a  thousand  people  to  promote  the  sharing  of  cultural  heritage.  

Gironde  –  Natalie  Gascoin  The  Archives Départementales de la Gironde   have   been  digitising   material   since   2004.   The   Société   Archéologique  de   Bordeaux   is   a   main   partner.   Le   Pole   de   la   Memoire  Locale  du  Bourgeais  have  provided  postcard  collections,   In  Video   Veritas   provided   videos,   and   Musée   National   de  

3    

Dounes   their   customs   (excise)   archives.   LoCLoud  was   a   challenge   for   the   partners,   especially   the  standardisation   of   the   metadata   but   they   are   very   pleased   with   the   end   result   of   their   online  content.  As  a  result,  Gironde  is  providing  expertise  as  a  documentation  of  CH  to  local  partners.  

Cluj  County  Library  –  Sorina  Stanca  Cluj   County   Library   started   with   ten   partners   but   there   were  fewer   (four)   by   the   end   of   the   project   due   to   changes.   Cluj   is  one   of   the   biggest   public   library   in   north   Romania   with   new  building  and  experience  of  EU  projects  since  1995.  The  types  of  materials   provided   to   Europeana   include   manuscripts,   mainly  letters   of   Emil   Isac’s   father,   Aurel   Sac,   concerning   political  matters  prior  to  nationalisation,    and  some  printed  documents  –  

monographs,  newspaper  articles,  two  periodical  collections.    These  are  all  important  sources  for  the  study   of   local   history.   Postcards   of   views   of   cities   and   buildings   etc.   provide   a   prospective   of   the  development  over  time  of  resorts  and  other  developments.  Photos  document    cultural  life,  including  the  Isac  family.  The  rich  metadata  helps  the  recreation  of  Intellectual  life  from  the  2nd  half  of  the  19th  century.  

National  Archives  of  Norway,  Joachim  Fugleberg  The   main   provider   to   Europeana   is   Norvegiana   –   the   Arts  Council   of   Norway.   LoCloud   started   here   but   transferred  with  Gunnar   Urtegaard   to   NRA.   Norvegiana   has   a   portal   and  infrastructure   so   NRA   collaborates   with   them.   NRA   has   good  access   to   formal   networks   but   not   the   informal   i.e.   small  archives,   local   groups.   They  have   targeted  enthusiasts,   people  with  domain  knowledge  but  not  technical  skills,  where  data  was  not  organised  and  with  no  or  outdated  websites.  Also   institutions  with   international   focus  e.g.  art  museums  with  specific  aspects.  NRA  participated  in  the  key  LoCloud  activities  of  dissemination  and  training   workshops.   NRA   are   finally   getting   contacted   by   interested   parties   during   the   last   six  months.   NRA   has   provided   support   to   small   institutions   and   collections,   most   of   which   are   very  comfortable  with  LoCloud  Collections;  MINT  is  a  little  more  technical.  Their  content  includes  letters  from  Munch  and  Grieg,  Riddu  (Sami  festival),  a  petroleum  archive,  and  women’s  rights.  

MECD,  Spain  –  Maria  Carrillo  MECD  represents  providers  of  130,000  objects  from  many  institutions.  Now  there  are  over  141,000  objects  from  thirty  one    institutions  from  all  over  Spain  including  the  Belearic  Islands  in  Europeana.  The   largest  provider  was  the  Foundation  for  the  Ethnography  and  Development  of  Canarian  Crafts  (FEDAC).  Other  providers   include  the  Museo  Picasso   from  the    Eugenio  Arias  Collection   (Madrid)  –  seventy  one  drawings  and  ceramics,  the  Museum  of  Santiago  and  Pilgrimages  (Galicia)  which  records  this  activity  since  the   late  Middle  ages,  E.g.  The  Holy  Kindred  painting  1520,  and  many   items  from  local  museums   (Roman  busts,  pottery,  etc.).The    Andalusia  Contemporary  Art  Centre  has  provided  photos  e.g.  Berlin  Wall  by  Peter  Friedl,  and  also  paintings  e.g.  Velázquez.  All  this  content  is  united  in  the  cloud.

Archaeology  Data  Service,  UK  –  Holly  Wright  ADS   stared   in   1996   as   part   of   the   University   of   York.   It   is  dedicated   to   digital   preservation   and   dissemination   of  archaeological  resources.  Documentation  becomes  the  primary  data   as   excavation   is   non-­‐repeatable.   The   digital   resources  created   can   be   in   a   variety   of   types   and   formats   which   are  fragile.   These   also   can   come   from   a   variety   of   sources   –   local  societies   and   community   groups   and   rescue   archaeology  

(building  sites).  It  can  take  years  of  conversation  before  data  is  deposited  with  ADS.  In  CARARE,  ADS  provided   thirty   thousand   items   to   Europeana.   Through   LoCloud,   another   twenty   thousand   have  been  added.  The  Society  of  Antiquaries  London  is  a  source  of  lovely  drawings,  water  colours  of  late  18th   and   19th   centuries.   The   Wessex   Archaeology   Image   Archive   which   includes   a   number   of  museums  based   in   the   south  west     of   England  has  provided  eight  hundred  and   sixty   items.   There  also  some  very  typical   images  of  archaeology  –  diggers,  compound  of  canteen  and  equipment  and  large   holes   in   the   ground!   The   Grey   Literature   Library   has   over   thirty   thousand   records   of  unpublished  archaeology  fieldwork  reports,  of  which  over  twenty  eight  thousand  are  discoverable  in  Europeana.  Example  –  ACE  Archaeology  Club   is   a   community  group  who  have  one   report  –   this   is  now  published  via  LoCloud.  

Cultural  Heritage  and  H2020  –  Marcel  Watelet  Marcel   Watelet,   the   Project   Officer   for   the   LoCloud   Project,   talked   about   the   European  Commission’s  view  on  cultural  heritage  in  their  research  programmes.    

That  al  started  with  an  overview  of  two  basic  legal  documents  –  Recommendation  from  27  October  2011  and   the   revised  PSI  Directive,  2013.  “Local  content”   is   featured   in   these.  Each  year,  progress  from  each  Member  State  is  reported  on  the  implementation  of  the  Recommendation.  There  are  also  other  reports  on  CH,  and  the  impact  of  digitization  and  the  Internet  on  the  creative  industries.  

The   result   of   various   calls   (eContentPlus,   FP7,   CIP)   has   resulted   in  massive  metadata   aggregation.  Support  has  been  provided  to  specific  types  of  content  and  to  thematic  domains.  The  central  point  is  Europeana   with  more   than   three   thousand,   three   hundred   content   providers   resulting   in   >   forty  eight  million  metadata  records.  Outside  Europeana,  there  also  projects  generating  digital  data.  

Digital   access   to   CH   breathes   new   life   into  materials   from   the   past,   both   providing   access   to   end  users   and   stimulating   the   digital   economy.   Content   can   be   reused   for   learning   and   education,  tourism,  games.  

H2020  introduces  new  policies  with  seven  pillars.  Pillar  one  is  the  Digital  Market  with  twenty  eight  separate   actions.   The   Commission   has   set   out   sixteen   initiatives   to   make   this   happen,   including    investment   through  structural  and   investment   funds  of  which    around  70%   is  expected   to  support  SMEs.   The   CEF   has   €850m  which   includes   Europeana,   and   €150m   for   broadband.  Within   H2020,  Societal  Challenge  six  and  the  ICT  oriented  call  concern  CH.  Unit  G2  has  a  “creativity”  mission  which  covers  research,  innovation  activities  and  activities  in  the  field  of  digital  culture,  digital  preservation  and  Europeana.    

Finally,  there  was  a  summary  of  calls  of  interest  to  the  audience.    

5    

• New   call   ICT   21   –   Support   technology   transfer   for   the   Creative   industries,   deadline   April  2016.    

• ICT   36.   CULT-­‐COOP-­‐08-­‐2016:   Virtual   Museums   and   social   platform   on   European   digital  heritage.    

• New  calls  in  2017  -­‐  CULT-­‐COOP-­‐09-­‐2016:  European  cultural  heritage,  access  and  analysis  for  a  richer  interpretation  of  the  past.    

There  are  some  other  related  activities  in  the  other  DGs,  e.g.  learning  activities.    

The  LoCloud  Collections,  Marcin  Werla,  PSNC.  The   challenge  was   to   simplify   deployment   and   reduce   the   cost   of   having   a   digital   library  without  limiting   its   end   values   for   users.   After   discussions   with   users,   the   result   is   LoCloud   Collections  through  which  users   can  create  an  account  and  put   content  online  using   the  Open  Source   system  OMEKA.  PSNC  developed  some  templates  and  extensions  to  help  with  this.  

The   cloud   is   located   in   the   PSNC   Data   Centre   in   a   private   cloud   collection.   This   is   cheaper   than  Amazon!   LoCloud   provides   access   to   statistics   as   well   such   as   the   number   of   visits   to   collections  (graphics   as   well)   and  where   the   visitors   from.  Multilinguality   is   supported   –   sixty   five   languages  available  provided  by  partners.  Compatibility  with  Europeana  –  each  has  OAI-­‐PMH  interface  and  can  use  CSV  import  and  there  is  support  for  pre-­‐configured  EDM  metadata.  

LoCloud  storage  pricing  is  based  on  real  use  –  free  up  to  500MB  beyond  which  there  is  a  sliding  scale  of   charges   from   €2-­‐€24   per   month.   Storage   larger   than   50GB   can   also   be   provided.   Currently,  storage  is  free  until  the  end  of  February,  maybe  longer,    depending  on  popularity  and  future  funding.  There   are   two   hundred   and   sixty   five   collections   created   in   thirty   six   countries.   Thirty   three  collections  are  on  potentially  paid  storage  plans.  PSNC  plan  to  develop  the  service  further,  possibly  in  collaboration  with  Europeana  (DSI  2  proposal).  They  are  interested  in  collaboration  with  partners  for  translations,  local  promotion  and  support,  etc.    

The  Historical  Place  Names  micro-­‐service  –  Rymvidas  Lauzikas  The  Historical  Place  Names  (HPN)  service  was  developed  by  the  University  of  Vilnius  as  a  semi-­‐automatic  historical  geo-­‐informational  micro  service.  It  is  based  on  a  thesaurus.  A  local  history  researcher  can  look  up  a  HPN,  get  different   linguistic   versions   with   geo-­‐co-­‐ordinates.   Users   can   also   make  contributions  to  the  thesaurus.    The  next  steps  are  to  include  polygon  data,  enrichment   of   content   of   the   HPN   Thesauri,   improve   multi-­‐linguistics   by  connection  with  Wikipedia,  the  addition  of  some  tools  e.g.  output  maps.  

Bastille,   pop   band   or   historical   icon?   How   linked   open   data   helps  you  find  the  right  one.  Richard  Leeming,  BBC,  London.  Richard  Leeming  was  a  guest  speaker  who  was   involved   in  a  project  with  a  different   approach   to   Europeana.   The   Research   and   Education   Space   is   a  partnership   between   the   BBC,   JISC   and   British   University   Film   and   Video  Council.  The  aim  is  to  release  the  BBC  archive  for  educational  purposes  –  but  

6    

also  for  the  UK  GLAM  sector  to  make  them  accessible  to  educators.  

The   Research   and   Education   Space   (RES)   retrieves   and   indexes   linked   open   data   (LOD)   from  institutions.  It  encourages  public  archives  to  release  their  collections  with  LOD  and  for  educators  to  tell  RES  what  they  want.  Now  RES  has  more  than  sixty  million  assets,  forty  eight  million  of  these  are  from  Europeana.  They  are  talking  to  many  major  CH  institutions  to  bring   in  more  indexed  content.  There  is  a  very  enthusiastic  response  from  the  UK  GLAM  sector  but  budget  cuts  make  things  difficult.    

RES   cares   about   provenance,   licensing,   authenticity   –   Google   doesn’t.   In   the   Bastille   example,   a  Google  search  brings  up  the   Indy  pop  group.   In  RES,  users  are  able   to  select  phrases  and  bring  up  related  resources.  Linked  Open  Data   isn’t  an  Open  Standard  though.  Some  expertise   is  required  to  implement   LOD   that  machines   can   read.   For   RES,   each   participating   institution   is   responsible   for  hosting  their  own  content.    

Some  examples  of  LOD  successes:  

• Since   London   Underground   opened   up   their   data,   over   100   apps   available,   which   help  Londoners  get  around  more  efficiently.  

• York   Museum   Trust   opened   up   art   collection.   William   Etty   went   from   200   words   on  Wikipedia  to  over  20,000.  

However,   losing  quality  or  control  of  data  is  a  concern.  Potential   loss  of  brand  values,  e.g.  reuse  in  unsuitable  circumstances.    

In  the  future,  about  fifteen  private  developers  of  virtual   learning  environments  (VLEs)  will  be  using  the  RES  platform  in  their  applications.    

Technical  aspects  The  next  session  focused  on  the  technical  development  aspect  of  LoCloud.  

Getting  More  out  of  your  data  –  Dimitris  Gavrilis,  Athena  RC  The   micro-­‐service   architecture   is   built   on   MoRE.   There   are   currently  fourteen   micro-­‐services   available.   These   include   services   for   language  identification,  geo-­‐names,  thesauri,  etc.    PeriodO  allows  mapping  of  data  to  standardised  period  names  as  well  as  an   institutions  own  geo-­‐names  server.    LoCloud  allows  for  both  manual  and  automatic    enrichment  (e.g.  links  to  Wikipedia,  DBPedia  and  SKOSified  thesauri).  External  enrichment  services   can   be   integrated   into   the   system   as   plug-­‐ins.   MoRE   is   being  used  by  ten  other  projects  such  as  ARIADNE.    

Micro-­‐services  in  LoCloud  –  AIT,  Walter  Koch  Micro-­‐services  were  developed  to  help  reduce  technical  barriers,  lack  of  skills,  etc.  There  are  six  development  teams  and  all  micro-­‐services  are   implemented   on   VM   (virtual   machine)   in   a   cloud   test   lab.   All  micro-­‐services  have  documented  APIs.  There  are  user   interfaces   for  three  services  e.g.  Vocabulary  has  a  thesauri  management  tool.  Each  service  is  integrated  into  MoRE  as  an  enrichment  tool.  Walter  then  provided  a  quick  overview  of  all  of  the  services.  The  Vocabulary  service  incorporates  twenty  nine  standard  thesauri.  It  allows  users  to  

7    

add  and  create  vocabularies,  to  add  terms  and  add  translations.  These  terms  can  then  be  added  to  metadata.  

Some   technical   insights  were   followed  by   some  examples  of   implementation.  E.g.   Find  all  broader  terms   for   “Acid   Jazz”   based   upon   SPARQL.   (Result   =   “Art”).   He   then   finished   with   the  Wikipedia  definition  of  a  micro-­‐service.    AIT  is  moving  from  a  Service  Oriented  Architecture  to  one  with  more  micro-­‐services.    AIT  now  using  PaaS  (Platform  as  a  Service)and  docker.    

The   presentation   completed   with   a   summary   of   the   marketplace   of   all   micro-­‐services   available  through  Europeana  –  data  presentation,  media  selection,  annotation,  data  exchange  etc.  

Aggregating  cultural  heritage  metadata  using  the  MINT  platform  (Presented  by  Dimitris  Gavrilis  in  place  of  Vassilis  Tsouvaras).  This  was  a  quick  demo  of  using  micro-­‐services./   In  the  example  shown,  a  record  from  OMEKA  was  mapped  to  EDM.  There   is  missing  data   in  the  EDM  record  so   it  needs  enrichment  before   it  can  be  sent   to   Europeana.   An   enrichment   plan   can   be   used   to   apply   a   selection   of   micro-­‐services   in   a  specific  order.  The  enrichment  plan  required  for  the  demo  language  identification,  then  vocabulary  matching  followed  by  geo-­‐normalization  followed  by  geo-­‐coding.    

MINT  allows  users  to  visually  map  their  own  metadata  to  recognised  schemas.  This  tool  was  updated  for   LoCloud   and   both   the   front   and   back-­‐ends   were   updated.   Screen   shots   of   the   user   interface  showed  how  a  user  uploads  their  data,  perform  the  mappings  and  transformations  and  then  finally  viewing  the  record  as  seen  in  Europeana.  The  last  step  is  to  send  the  data  to  MoRE.  

On  the  map  –  Runar  Bergheim,  AVINET,  Norway  Runar   Bergheim   talked   about   the   Geo-­‐coding   service.  Location   is   good   –   language   independent   but   also   has   its  own   challenges.   Maps   show   content,   unlike   databases.  However,   you   may   have   very   sparse   information   or   very  densely   populated   maps   which   aren’t   very   user   friendly.  Most   of   the   metadata   in   Europeana   does   not   have   co-­‐ordinates.   It   is   possible   to   add   this   through   the   micro-­‐

services.   It   will   be   a   massive   task.   Also   based   on   what   is   in   the   metadata.   Street   addresses   and  gazetteers  can  also  be  used  to  create  geo-­‐codes.  Issues  include  common  names,  lack  of  resolution,  etc.  How  to  improve  accuracy?  There  are  two  options  –  1)  manually  or  2)  not  at  all!  

With  Option  1)  you  need  to  use  experience  and  knowledge.    

The  principle  of   this   tool   is  enrichment  at  or  near   the   source.     It  works  by  making  a   table  of   your  data,   upload   this   to   the   cloud   and   use   the   service,   download   the   enriched   table   and   use   this   to  enrich  your  original  data  source.    

Runar   then   provided   an   overview   of   the   user   interface   of   the   Geocoding   Micro-­‐service   IV   and  explained   how   the   tool   worked.   Data   can   be   uploaded   as   CSV   files.   The   tool   includes   user  management  (roles  and  rights)  which  means  that  you  can  have  community  volunteers  use  the  tool.  Locations  can  be  added  as  points,  polygons  and   lines.  Google  maps   is   the  default  but  any   INSPIRE  based  map  can  be  used.  Also,  search  databases  to  look  up  places  that  the  user  does  not  know.  The  

8    

updated   source   can   then   be   downloaded   in   KML,   CSV   and   other   common   formats.   A   demo   is  available   on   the   LoCloud  website.   The   tool   is   used  by   the  Ministry   of   Tourism   in   the   Sultanate   of  Oman.  The  NRA  provided  the  original  specification.    

The  LoCloud  Competition  The   aim  of   the   LoCloud   competition  was   to   get   people   to  celebrate  where  they  lived  and  explore  their  history.  

Kate   Fernie   had   prepared   a   presentation   of   the   entries  from   across   Europe,   which   featured   some   videos   and  images   from   the   applications.   Henk   Alkemade   announced  the   winner   and   runner-­‐up   and   presented   both   with   their  prize  and  certificate.  

The  winner  was  “Maribor  in  the  past  and  today”  by  Mihael   Muršec   (pictured   far   left)   with   help   from  friends   Sven   Pušnik,   Patrik   Rek   and   Nejc-­‐Filip  Svenšek,   all   from   Slovenia.   The   Maribor   video  showed  the  town  today  and  then  featured  searches  in  Europeana  to  pull  out  images  of  the  same  places  in  past   times  very  effectively.    The   follower-­‐up  was  16  year  old  Bogdan  Stanciu  (pictured  far  right)  –  his  friends  helped  with  the  ski  jump  and  bike  shots  –  in  “The  Extraordinary  Adventures  of  Private  Nistor”.  

See  the  website  for  all  the  entries:  http://www.locloud.eu/LoCloud-­‐Competition.  

Summing  up  by  Kate  Fernie  The  Research  and  Education  Space  presented  by  Richard  Leeming     is  dealing  with  huge  institutions  such   as   the   British   Museum   and   the   Wellcome   Foundation.   The   focus   of   LoCloud   is   the   smaller  collections   –  we  have   seen   some  very   small,   very   individual   collections   today   alongside   the   larger  ones.  The  tools  enable  this.  It  wonderful  to  see  the  images  deposited  in  drawer  several  years  ago  in  a  small  library  made  accessible  to  the  whole  world  now.
