ARTstor is an nonprofit organization using digital technology to enhance teaching and research. The ARTstor Digital Library shares 1.4 million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and sciences from outstanding museums, photo archives, photographers, scholars, and artists. Today, more than 1,400 educational institutions and museums in 43 countries conduct their teaching, research, and scholarship with our high-resolution images and sophisticated online workspace and tools. ARTstor also makes available Shared Shelf, a Web-based cataloging and image management software service that allows institutions to catalog, edit, store, and share local collections. It enables local collections to be seamlessly hosted alongside the collections and tools in the ARTstor Workspace. Shared Shelf is being developed in collaboration with nine partner institutions.
Davis Art Images works with museums, artists, and photographers to license high-quality, fine art images to educators. Developed solely to support education, our archive covers a variety of time periods, cultures, and art forms. Areas of specialization include modern and contemporary, American, and non-western art. Each image is licensed in perpetuity with no recurring fees or subscriptions. Once an image is licensed, it can be incorporated into an existing image collection.

Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation
Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group
Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation is devoted to the study of images and their uses. While images of architecture and works of art constitute its main focus, it also includes other subjects and contexts in a wide range of formats. Its scope delves into the past and looks toward the future, revealing how images have influenced the perception of art and how the interpretation of images conditions and enhances academic disciplines such as archaeology, history, and particularly art and architectural history. Visual Resources explores how visual language is structured and visual meaning communicated and also illustrates how picture collections are acquired, organized, indexed, and preserved. VR examines early attempts to document the visual, reports on the state of visual resources, assesses the effect of electronic technology on current and future uses, and provides a platform for reporting innovative ways to organize and access visual information – while aiming to increase the recognition and appreciation of visual documentation.
