The Web resource base of SCRAN, the Scottish Cultural Resources Access
Network, was launched in Edinburgh today by Sam Galbraith, the Scottish
Minister for the Arts and Cultural Heritage.
SCRAN is a Millennium Project to build a networked multimedia resource
base for the study, teaching and appreciation of history and material
culture in Scotland.
Currently the SCRAN resource base contains about 60,000 text records of
objects from over 30 museums, galleries and archives. A few hundred of
these records are attached to images. By the Millennium we plan this to
have grown to 1.5 million text records and 100,000 multimedia objects,
including movies, sound clips and VR.
Please visit our website (www.scran.ac.uk and chose "search SCRAN"), and
try out our pilot user interface and tell us what you think!
Cheers
Bruce
