Chandra Reedy, professor, Center for Historic Architecture and Design, is currently in the process of adding approximately 250 images to UDSpace. She said, “My National Science Foundation grant ‘Calibration of Digital Image Analysis Protocols for Archaeological Ceramics’ required that I have the experimental images publicly available so that other researchers can use them. The ability to easily deposit these images in UDSpace is the perfect way to meet this mandate.”
“UDSpace is a work in progress that continually evolves. The often unpublished research treasures of the University of Delaware faculty are an important complement to their published works,” said Susan Brynteson, vice provost and May Morris University Librarian.
