We have solicited four position papers on the following topics which are critical to the creation of a digital version of RAMH:

  1. Identify the scope, types, and quantity of materials which would be included in RAMH2.
  2. Identify existing standards for their description and access.
  3. Determine tools needed to collect, store, and refresh that data continuously.
  4. Establish what kind of online searching users would need to access the information.

Please follow the links to view the position papers (as PDFs).
