I would try to find a version of the RECODE program developped by
Francois Pinard for the GNU foundation. It would convert most
character sets into any other. Check with F Pinard at:

I'd like to draw attention to members of the Humanist some of the work that my collegaues at the Department of Computer Science (at the Unievrsity of Manchester) have begun with respect to applying structured terminologies and description logics for use by art archivists and historians. The project description can be found at <http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/mig/people/seanb/starch>. A position paper on the subject can be found at <http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/people/seanb/art/position.htm>.

This project, in my opinion, is an example of a marriage between the interests of computer scientists and the needs of art historians and archivists.
