Abstract
The organization and archival storage of visual records takes a variety of forms, from the family photograph album to the large picture files maintained by the news media. Common to all systems is the problem of the location and retrieval of particular images, to serve any purpose from page layout to illustrating a story. The thesis will examine ways to personalize the cataloging of large bodies of visual data. Single frames of an optical videodisc will provide the storage mechanism and computer control of the disc will facilitate search procedures. Manipulation of a database associated with the disc frames allows the development of more than one way to order this sea of information, whether by a card catalogue system like the picture file or some personal chronology like the photograph album.
