The Optical Digital Image Storage System Project Report is the culmination of a five-year effort. In 1984, the Archivist of the United States approved the undertaking of a pilot project to research and test the application of digital imaging and optical disk technologies to archival programs. During the course of the project, a digital image capture and retrieval system was designed and procured, and experimentation with the processing of a broad sample of archival documents was conducted.
