       The project Crisis, Tragedy and Recovery Network (CTRnet) is an
       effort  to  build an integrated distributed digital library for
       providing  a  rich  suite  of CTR-related services. This report
       describes   an   independent   study   conducted   at  Virginia 
       Polytechnic  Institute  and  State  University,  consisting  of 
       collecting  and  archiving  information  related  to  the Haiti
       earthquake, later used to explore content-based image retrieval
       (CBIR)  concepts.  The  objective was to collect and categorize
       relevant  pictures  related  to the earthquake, followed by the
       exploration  of  practical  CBIR concepts, such as descriptors,
       feature vectors, and experiment design.
