Finding Images
ARTStor
- (use with IE, and remember to disable pop-up blocker) ARTstor provides
curated collections of art images and associated data for noncommercial
and scholarly, non-profit educational use. Currently contains 300,000
digital images and associated catalog data, and the tools to make active
use of those images.
There are a lot of resources out there for finding images on the web.
Here are a few which offer some guidance and helpful hints:
Top
Multimedia Links
- American Museum of Photography
- The American Museum of Photography is presently featuring new and
exciting online exhibits covering a range of categories. (From the Scout
Report)
- Art and Culture - This
interesting and visually appealing site links to a variety of resources
related to the visual arts, performing arts, design, literature, music,
and film. (From the Scout
Report)
- Communication Arts
- Links to the home of Communication Arts journal. The site includes
links to other web resouces as well as articles on Web Site of the Week,
equipment reviews, and exhibits.
- The Journal for MultiMedia History
- The Department of History at the State University of New York at Albany
has recently released the inaugural issue of The Journal for MultiMedia
History, "the first peer-reviewed electronic journal that presents,
evaluates, and disseminates multimedia scholarship." (From the
Scout
Report)
- Copyright and Fair Use
- Stanford University Libraries, FindLaw, and the Council on Library
Resources have made available a pointers page on copyright and fair
use. The site is divided into four main categories: Primary Materials;
Current Legislation, Cases and Issues; Resources on the Internet; and
Overview of Copyright Law. (From the Scout
Report)
- Visual Arts Data Service
(VADS) - The Visual Arts Data Service (VADS) is a UK project devoted
to making digital resources for the visual arts community available
online, particularly resources for study and teaching in higher education.
Searching is now improved to allow cross-database searching of four
VADS collections. Images can be viewed in several sizes with a choice
of brief, core, or full catalogue records. (From the Scout
Report)

Other World Wide Web Links
- Art
on the Web - Created and maintained by Prof. Jeffery Howe of the
Fine Arts department at Boston College.
- Art
in Flux - Created by Cheryl K Shurtleff of the Boise State University
Department of Art, this metasite is a directory of resources for research
in contemporary art. The annotated links are grouped in four sections:
artists, museums, theory, and reference. Each section is rather sizable,
and site descriptions range from none at all to a single sentence to
a short paragraph. A fifth section, links, includes directories, funding
resources, and miscellaneous journals. A useful jumping-off point for
anyone interested in contemporary art. (From the Scout
Report)
- Art Resources
on the Web - Compiled by Doro Boehme and Anne Britton.
- Celtic
Art and Cultures - The Celtic Art and Cultures Website was originally
created for art history students at University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill. The main feature of the site is its multimedia database of Celtic-related
images, maps, timelines, and vocabulary aids complete with spoken pronunciations.
Images can be viewed by period, material, object, and country. (From
the Scout
Report)
- Trajan's
Column - This Website, from McMaster University, uses the combined
skills of artists, writers, programmers, and Web designers to create
a resource for the study of Trajan's column, a Roman architectural monument.
This 100-foot marble column, built during the reign of Emperor Trajan,
98-117 AD, is topped with a gilded statue of Trajan and decorated with
carvings recounting Trajan's rule, primarily the Dacian Wars and his
building projects. The heart of the Website is the database of 500 slides
of the carvings; indexes allow users to view the slides in thematic
groupings such as images of sides of the column, groups organized by
subject keywords, or carvings made with specific tools. Cartoons or
drawings of the column help to contextualize the details found in the
slides, and essays provide more information on its design, construction,
and preservation. (From the Scout
Report)
