The University Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of access to
the ARTstor
digital library. The acquisition was made possible by contributions from the
faculties of Architecture and History of Art, Classics, Divinity, English,
History and Philosophy of Science, and Modern and Medieval Languages, and from
St. John’s College, Trinity Hall, and Wolfson College. The Library is extremely
grateful for their support.
ARTstor is an online resource containing more than one million digital images relating to the arts, architecture, humanities, and sciences. The collections comprise contributions from outstanding international museums, photographers, libraries, scholars, photo archives, and artists and artists’ estates.
There are several history of medicine and natural sciences images available on ARTstor:
featured collections include Cook's Voyages to the South Seas (Natural History Museum, London), Hill Ornithology Collection (Cornell University Library - some spectacular images from Audubon and Gould), Magnum Photos, Vesalius Anatomical Illustrations (Northwestern University). I've put a poster highlighting these on the Library noticeboard.
ARTstor allows the user to search using keywords and advanced search terms or browse by collection, classification or geography. Users can sort their search results and organize images into groups and share those groups with colleagues and students.
A range of tools allow users to make the best use of these high resolution images for research and pedagogical purposes and users can register for a personal account to access to additional features.
The ARTstor downloadable guides highlight important content and collections for subjects including African and African-American Studies, American Studies, Anthropology, Architecture and the Built Environment, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Design, Decorative Arts, Fashion and Costume, History of Medicine and Natural Science, Languages and Literature, Latin American Studies, Maps and Geography, Medieval Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Music History, Native American Studies, Photography, Religious Studies, Renaissance Studies, Theatre and Dance and Women’s Studies.
ARTstor is available on campus at http://www.artstor.org and off-campus using your Raven login and the link to the site which can be found at the eresources@cambridge Database A-Z. It is also available on a range of mobile devices.
