Abstract
"SPIRO permits access to the collection by seven access points which may be used independently or in combination:
historical period
place
personal name
object name
subject terms
source of image
image identification number
As of January 2004, SPIRO contained over 63,000 records linked to images, approximately 20% of AVRL's total slide collection. Thirty-three percent (33%) of the images in SPIRO come from images in books. These are produced in-house by copy stand photography under the fair use and educational copying provisions of the U.S. Copyright Law. Eleven percent (11%) of the images in SPIRO derive from copy stand photography from periodicals, also produced in-house. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of the images are donor- supplied, and eighteen percent (18%) are purchased from commercial slide vendors."
