Brings together on one DVD-ROM all the material published in the Colour Index between 1924 and 1998. All the documents are presented as bitmap images in PDF format, scanned from the Society of Dyers and Colourists' archive collection of Colour Index documents, apart from the Pigments and solvent dyes edition main volume, which was already available in PDF. These documents have also themselves been scanned by optical character recognition (OCR) software to make them searchable using the search facility within Adobe Acrobat Reader.
