Description
Summary:Since the origination of the Human Developmental Anatomy Center at the National Museum of Health and Medicine of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, efforts have been made to use electronic media to assist researchers wishing to use collections housed there. Earlier projects involved creating high-resolution images of the thousands of sections in the collections; later efforts involved creating three-dimensional models; later still, these images and models have been placed in a World Wide Web format for ease of distribution. This article assesses the utility of the project and anticipates future uses of the growing website.
