Re: Book Organization/Slides


> May I ask how you organize your slides?

Hi Barbara,

   I use some metal slide drawers sold by Hightshoe (www.hightshoe.com):

      http://www.mallorn.com/~lindsey/slide-drawer.jpg

   There are currently four of them in my office.  Two are used
   for slides of woody plants, one is used for perennials and 
   annuals, and the last one is a temporary holding area for 
   slides that need to be labeled and scanned and for pictures of
   people and places.

   The slides are all alphabetized by subject (i.e. scientific 
   name, event, place).  I also keep track of the slides on my 
   computer.

   Each slide gets a unique number like 122701235.  The first six
   numbers refer to the date, the next number refers to the roll
   number, and the last two numbers refer to the frame number of
   the slide.  So for 122701235, I have

      122701 = 12-27-2001
      2      = third roll of film (I start numbering at zero)
      35     = 35th frame on that roll of film

   That number is printed out on Avery labels along with a description,
   location, a rating of the slide's quality, and the type of film used.
   It's then affixed to the slide.

   The number is also cross-referenced into my computer database
   which keeps the same information along with some other stuff 
   (model release forms, type of lens/camera used, etc.)

   Unfortunately, I seem to be incredibly short on time, so my database
   updating is, err, backlogged to say the least.  :)  

Chris
