摘要

The plan develops guidelines for the types and quantity of data to be entered into the computer-managed repository that will constitute the basic element of the research center. Designation of the computer data required, hardware and software needs, proposed building layout, and structural design are presented in the plan. The facility would feature new data on precolumbian American peoples and on the life of Christopher Columbus. The project consultants initially identified more than 250 important precolumbian documents considered basic to the program. Over 1,000 documents will be entered annually to continually build the data base.
