ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a technique for automatically cataloging and storing pictorial and/or written sections of information in the form of, for example 35-mm slides, X-rays, store catalog pages, etc. in a database for subsequent retrieval by end users of the database. In accordance with the present technique, a bar-code label, including a unique bar-code, is assigned and affixed to each piece or section of information to be separately stored in the database. Each section of information is sequentially fed into a recording arrangement where (a) the bar-code versus a brief description of the information section is recorded in a computer memory, (b) an image of the pictorial and/or written information section is transformed into a video signal and recorded on a separate location of a video tape or disk, and (c) the location of the video signal on the video tape or disk for each section of information is recorded in the computer memory with the associated bar-code and brief description.
