Images from the History of Medicine Rescanned
Three-Year Effort Greatly Improves Quality
On February 24th, NLM was pleased to make available approximately
60,000 rescanned images from the Images from the History of Medicine
(IHM) Web site (wwwihm.nlm.nih.gov).
The new images were rescanned directly from archival slides at a
high resolution rate (2700 dots per inch prior to compression for
the World Wide Web). Because of the quality of these images, all are
watermarked.
The IHM rescanning project was a three- year effort to improve
the quality of the IHM images. Color resolution, original size and
clarity are much improved. "We believe that the new images will
provide an even greater service to IHM users," noted Dr. Paul
Theerman, Head of Non-Book Collections, History of Medicine
Division. "The images are sharper and have better color, and
reviewing them is much
easier." |
