Cartography Associates just this morning posted a message to the VRA-L announcing their launch of "AMICA" (Art Museum Images from Cartography Associates). Quoting from Nancy Harm's posting, it is "a collection of more than 100,000 high quality works of art from prominent museums worldwide, replacing The AMICO Library... Most of the museums that contributed to the original The AMICO Library will be included in the AMICA collection and several will support its continued growth by adding more resources from their own collections." The collection will be made available using Luna Insight software, just as AMICO is currently available through Cartography Associates.
