ARTstor to Launch Digital Image Resource
ARTstor, a nonprofit initiative founded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, announced the availability of its Digital Library to nonprofit educational and cultural institutions in the U.S. starting this summer. The ARTstor Digital Library comprises digital images and related data, and the tools to make active use of those images (http://www.artstor.org).ARTstor's "Charter Collection" will contain approximately 300,000 digital images of visual material from different cultures and disciplines, and seeks to offer sufficient breadth and depth to support a wide range of non-commercial educational and scholarly activities. The Charter Collection is anticipated to grow to half a million images by the summer of 2006. ARTstor has developed software tools that will allow users at participating institutions to use its Charter Collection without the need for any other software. The Charter Collection is meant to serve as a campuswide resource that is focused on, but not limited to, the arts. It has been derived from several source collections that are themselves the product of collaborations with libraries, museums, photographic archives, publishers, slide libraries, and individual scholars. Source collections include: the MoMA Architecture and Design Collection, the Illustrated Bartsch, the Huntington Archive of Asian Art, and others. Source: ARTstor
