Software for Teaching and Learning with Digital Images

Developed at James Madison University, the Madison Digital Image Database (MDID) software brings the digital image library into the teaching and learning process.

The purpose of this website is to make the MDID software available for download and to share information with the MDID user community. Since the first release in 2001 many institutions have implemented the MDID software with their own digital image collections. MDID2 users can share collections with each other, giving institutions instant access to previously unavailable image collections.

We are happy to announce that we have been awarded an IMLS National Leadership Grant for "Making Connections: Linking MDID to Other Image Systems and Tools". This $225,476 grant will support a two-year project to further develop MDID in the area of interoperability with a variety of different image repositories and presentation tools. The grant includes funds to hire a full-time programmer. News Release
