Abstract
A method to encode information holographically, wherein the method provides information, and generates a plurality of data images, wherein each data image comprises a portion of the information. The method holographically encodes each of the plurality of data images in a holographic data storage medium, generates a plurality of identifiers, and associates a different one of the plurality of identifiers with a different one of the plurality of data images. The method forms a directory image reciting each of plurality of identifiers, encodes the directory image in a non-holographic data storage medium, and holographically encodes the directory image in the holographic data storage medium.
