Competency # 6 Building Block search

Query: Are special libraries utilizing digital images for access to other cultures and ancient relics?

I chose the limiters of media, technology and photograph in order to focus on digital collections of images, as opposed to the written word. My limiters of special or virtual libraries were chosen so that they would provide results beyond academic or public libraries. The limiters of image, culture, relics or digital were chosen so that collections of diverse images would be retrieved.
