2005
A database managemnet software system has been acquired by the Weizmann Institute for the joint use of the Weizmann Institute Archives, the Photo Lab and Chaim Weizmann Archives, the aim being the unification of some of the collections, especially photographs. Using the same software will enable joint use of the integrated database. During this year we have mainly dedicated our efforts to the integration of the software, and to checking the quality of the converted data from our previous Archives' database. This data is constantly being update.
The scanning process of the Weizmann Institute Archives, including that of extremely delicate paper documents, is carried out by the Photo Lab on a regular basis.
