ABSTRACT

A report on the use of Open Archive Initiative protocols to make cross-platform database searches possible through one interface. This approach allows for on-line access to tens of thousands of documents originated in a wide variety of formats, from film to technical drawings and periodicals, from corporate document archives to radio programs. This paper details a specific project to document the industrial and cultural heritage memorabilia related to an offshore oilfield in Norway.
