Microscope slides reference library of fiber specimens

The National Park Service's Division of Conservation currently is in
the process of creating a computerized database of information
relating to 2,000 plus microscope slides containing fiber specimens.
These fiber specimens have been collected from historic objects
treated in the textile lab over the past 20 years.  I would be
interested in hearing from anyone who has a similar database or who
knows of similar data bases, specifically with regard to the
categorization of fibers, and the organization and retrieval of
information.
