Hello,

Through working with the Denver Natural History Museum in identifying,
classifying and cataloguing their bead collection with ethnologist Joyce
Herold, I became interested  in trying to set up a bead database on the
internet.  It seemed a shame not to tap into global expertise as well as
a shame not to share what we were learning about beads.

A project to develop a 'prototype' of an interactive bead database has
been funded by the Los Angeles and Greater Washington DC Bead Societies.

The project is just beginning.

The webpage is http://www.ris.net/~jud

If your museum has a bead collection, please join in.  Other interested
parties, too.

All input welcomed.

Regards,
Dr Deborah Zinn
