NARAtions » Searching 40 TB of Electronic Records with the Swipe of a Finger Imagine that you want to find electronic records related to a particular
geographic location in a very large collection (40 TB and about 70
million files) of archival electronic records. Wouldn’t it be cool if
you could pick up an iPad, have a map pop up on the screen, run your
finger over the area on the map you were interested in, and have a list
of relevant record collections show up on the screen next to the map?
Wouldn’t it be really cool if you could then drill down through that
list and see metadata about records in each collection?
