Antike Helm is on its way to my graduate carrell in the Paley Library as we speak. I am very busy but happy to put down the morphologies as a kind of back bone.
We can do this the way my Architectural history prof built his database. He took the most comprehensive and widely accepted textbooks on american architecture, used them to build a list for all the captions and then got all his friends in the society of architectural historians to donate their pictures
It became a virtual textbook, minus the copyright issues. Basically, if an object made a majority of books, it made the list and then he begged for images. Later he got everyone involved to write essays for their objects. Worked really well. It's still there and available to everyone.
