The Department of Geography at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is developing a research oriented, visual database of North American Indian maps on a CD-ROM. This project is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Division of Research Programs. The CD-ROM will contain maps, extensive descriptions, and catalog information about the maps. The digital maps and text will be linked through a hypermedia interface. This archival database is intended to function as a research tool for scholars studying the cartography, landscape perception, cognition, art, and history of Native Americans. This paper presents an overview of the project, a brief discussion of the technology used, sample images and data

AbstractSince the first study of communication between patient and computer was performed at the University of Wisconsin in 1965, programs for patient-computer dialogue have been developed, implemented, and studied in numerous settings in the United States and abroad, and the results have been encouraging. This review presents a brief history of patient-computer dialogue together with suggested guidelines for programs in the future.

Since June of 1993, the Geography Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been engaged in a research project to develop the Archive of Native American Maps on CD-ROM. A major component of this project involves the creation of high-resolution scans of the maps in the archive. This paper discusses several issues encountered in the acquisition, manipulation and display of these scanned images. The issues include scanning resolution, file compression, palette shifts, and image tiling.
