The World's Spectrographic Plate Archives: A Century of Stellar Spectroscopy Waiting to be Rediscovered - Massinissa

1) Librarians, archivists, science historians (Group leaders Osborn, Kruesi, & Bartlett)
Topics:  plate storage, cataloguing, finding aids, logbook digitization 

2) Objective Prism Plate Group  (Group leaders Corbally, Hudec, Mickaelian)
Topics: Lessons learned from the preparing the Digitized Markarian Survey - Michaelian
 Machine learning for digitization of low-dispersion spectroscopy - Zafar 

3) Slit Spectra Group  (Group Leaders Griffin and Levine)

Topics: Structuring and organizing the finding aids
Which plates in a collection should have priority for cataloging and digitizing? 

4) Laboratory Spectral Plates Group (Leaders Ward & Nave)

          Goals: What plates do we have?  And why do we care about them?           

                        How do we make them usable?    What kind of uses do they have?
          Topics: Integration of the NIST Spectroscopic Plate Archive into the Harvard Plate Stacks - Nave

                             Laboratory spectroscopic plates in the Paris-Meudon Observatory - Lydia Tchang-Brillet
