After developing and populating the inventory database we have begun work over the last few months to develop the relational database that will integrate the data contained within these inventory objects. Phase two of the project (currently in development) will synthesize data garnered from these institutions into a searchable, query driven digital research archive. In addition to the query-driven portion of the archive, we will continue to post early manuscripts, photos, and field notes for viewing and, in some cases, download.

The completed Phase 2 version of the relational database will be launched in 2009. However, prior to the launch we will be releasing important data (such as the tree ring data and manuscripts currently posted) as it becomes available – so please check back!
