Hekman Library is pleased to announce that we've purchased online access to ARTstor, a magnificent database containing over 500,000 images covering art, architecture, and archaeology. ARTstor includes software tools that support a wide range of teaching and research uses, including viewing and analyzing images through zooming and panning features, saving groups of images online, and annotating images. ARTstor has great potential as a resource for faculty and student presentations, research papers, and web pages. Each image comes with a detailed description that allows for effective searching.
In the area of religion and theology, ARTstor users can easily find images related to the study of worship, iconography, liturgical arts, church architecture, church history, and other areas. See the handout ARTstor Resources in Religious Studies and also those for Classical Studies and History.For more information, access ARTstor to find a wide variety of tutorials and explanatory materials. From off-campus, be sure to access the database through the library website rather than directly On a more technical note, you will have to disable your popup blockers to use ARTstor.
