dc.descriptionInitial results, techniques, and rationale for a near-infrared survey of evolved emission-line stars toward the Galactic Center are presented. We use images taken through narrow-band emission-line and continuum filters to select candidates for spectroscopic follow-up. The filters are optimized for the detection of Wolf-Rayet stars and other objects which exhibit emission-lines in the 2 micron region. Approximately three square degrees along the Galactic plane have been analyzed in seven narrow-filters (four emission-lines and three continuum). Four new Wolf-Rayet stars have been found which are the subject of a following paper.
