New Database: ARTstor
Introducing ARTstor
The David A. Cofrin Library is pleased to announce the availability of a new database called ARTstor. ARTstor is a non-profit initiative, founded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with a mission to use digital technology to enhance scholarship, teaching and learning in the arts and associated fields.
The ARTstor collection currently contains a repository of over 400,000 images. The collection documents artistic traditions across many times and cultures and embraces architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, and design as well as many other forms of visual culture. Images are drawn from different sources, such as museums, archaeological teams, photo archives, slide libraries, and art reference publishers. Included are images from the Schlesinger History of Women in America Collection, The MoMA Architecture and Design Collection, The Huntington Archive of Asian Art, to name just a few. New collections will continue to be added.
To take ARTstor for a test-drive, from the Libraries' homepage, select "Articles and Databases" >> Database A-Z List >> type "ARTstor" into the "Start with" box.
Or, connect directly by going to http://www.artstor.org. If you have questions please contact the reference staff.
Training sessions will be offered late summer / early fall.
