Kerr and Associates: The Maya Database Project and the Pre-Columbian Portfolio
    Justin Kerr is a photographer who has been the past 30 years of his live working with photography of Maya artifacts. After publishing several books on Maya iconography, Kerr developed the Maya Vase Database, an online collection of photographic images of vases, produced from a special camera technique into a flat rollout. The database also contains a searchable catalog of the various images found on the vases.

    Kerr's latest project is with Dr. Sandra Noble of FAMSI, called The Pre-Columbian Portfolio, and it contains hundreds, soon to be thousands of artifacts and site photographs from Kerr's work in Mesoamerica and South America.
