Abstract

Since June of 1993, the Geography Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been engaged in a research project to develop the Archive of Native American Maps on CD-ROM. A major component of this project involves the creation of high-resolution scans of the maps in the archive. This paper discusses several issues encountered in the acquisition, manipulation and display of these scanned images. The issues include scanning resolution, file compression, palette shifts, and image tiling.
