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.
Over the years, VR has published articles about verbal descriptions of
art and architecture; copies, casts, and facsimiles; drawings,
paintings, and prints; photography; library, archive, and museum
collections; iconography; and computers and electronic imagery - and
how these have functioned as documents of art and culture.
