The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center's (AHEC) mission is to preserve the Army's history by ensuring access to historical research materials and to serve as the primary research facility for historical study of the U.S. Army. AHEC needed a new state-of-the-art, Web-based digital archive and information delivery system that provided access and information about their historical and archival collections, descriptive information about their museum, photographic and realia collections, and retrieval access providing both bibliographic and full text search capability. PTFS provided AHEC a turnkey solution by integrating two distinct software products - ArchivalWare™ (for digital documents and descriptions) and ALEPH (an integrated library system for bibliographic records). Capabilities of the Web Portal include a single point of entry federated search solution returning hits from both bibliographic and digital object databases simultaneously.
