Increasing access to the collections

ARTstor Digital Library
The Museum is digitizing its collections for online teaching and research through ARTstor Images for Education & Scholarship. Selected images and descriptions include: Old Master prints, American and European paintings and sculpture, and modern prints, as well as African, Asian, and Native American art. Museum collections staff are collaborating with the McIntire Department of Art Visual Resources Collection and the Fiske-Kimball Fine Arts Library on this initiative.
