2. The digitization project of the Michigan papyrus collection was first mentioned by D. Moser, "Digital Imagebases: Three Case Studies of Optical Imaging in Archives and Special Collections." The paper was presented at ASIS Midyear, 1993, at Knoxville, Tennessee. I hope that this article will clarify many of the points touched upon there.
3. Cataloging papyri could be a real nightmare because of the absence of standard terminology. The Duke experience will be invaluable in the future for such projects. See P. van Minnen, "Introducing the Online Catalogue of the Duke Papyrus Collection," Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists 31 (1994): 159-170 for an example of a catalog record in US-MARC format and a list of titles for papyrus texts.
