There are two priceless neuroanatomical collections of a range of mammalian brains, representing more than 120 species and all the major groups of mammals, including some now rare or endangered species. This project is the first step in making an electronically available catalog of all this material on video discs. Tests will be used to decide which is the best means of producing and storing quality images of the thousands of prepared tissue slides, with adequate visual resolution for anatomical work. The potential impact of a new accessibility of this irreplaceable tissue for research and teaching is enormous, providing excellent anatomical information on rare or endangered species already preserved without sacrificing any more specimens, wide distribution of data to any interested researcher, and illustrations for instructional programs. This work also may provide a model for helping other collections move into electronically accessible formats.

有两种无价的神经解剖学集合，这些集合代表了120多种哺乳动物的大脑，以及所有主要的哺乳动物群体，包括一些现在稀有或濒危物种。 该项目是在视频光盘上制作所有这些材料的电子可用目录的第一步。 测试将用于确定哪种是生产和存储数千张准备好的组织载玻片的质量图像的最佳方法，并具有足够的视觉分辨率用于解剖工作。 这种不可替代的组织对研究和教学的新可访问性的潜在影响是巨大的，为已经保留的稀有物种或濒危物种提供了出色的解剖信息，而无需牺牲任何更多的标本，向任何感兴趣的研究人员分配了广泛的数据，并为教学计划提供了插图。 这项工作还可以提供一个模型，以帮助其他收藏进入电子访问的格式。
