New Database: ARTstor

ARTstor contains over 500,000 images of art, architecture and archeology. Database features include support for viewing and analyzing images through zooming and panning, saving groups of images online for personal or shared uses, and creating and delivering presentations both online and offline.

Collections within the database include the Schlesinger History of Women in America Collection, Native American Art and Culture, The Museum of Modern Art Architecture and Design Collection, The Mellon International Dunhuang Archive, The Huntington Archive of Asian Art, The Carnegie Arts of the United States Collection, The Illustrated Bartsch and The Art History Survey Collection.

Access this database from the Library website by choosing "Articles and More," then "Databases A-Z."

Visual and Media Arts Chair Michael Selig, Cher Knight, Assistant Professor of Visual and Media Arts, and Stephen Shipps, Associate Professor of Visual and Media Arts, worked closely with Coordinator of Web Development and Reference Librarian James Capobianco to make access to ARTstor possible.
