    In 2004 Alison Stones, in collaboration with Ed Galloway of the Digital Research Library, planned a 1,500-image web image collection devoted to Chartres Cathedral. Beginning in May 2004, Jane Vadnal wrote planning documents, organized existing images, and drafted initial metadata on the windows. In Spring 2005, Dr. Stones' Chartres Cathedral Seminar studied the cathedral, both in class for a semester and on site for two weeks, during which half of the website's photographs were taken. The classroom component involved research on specific windows and other features for the website. After the return from Chartres, the website was transformed by the addition of many photographs, more extensive metadata, over 70 diagrams, and bibliographies. Led by Alison Stones, the main project team now consists of Jane Vadnal and Philip Maye, assisted by Julia Wozniak and many contributing photographers. We are grateful to the Rector of Chartres Cathedral, the Conservator of Manuscripts of the Bibliothèque Municipale de Chartres, and the Conservator of Manuscripts of the Bibliothèque Municipale d'Orléans, for permission to reproduce these images.
