Cartography Associates Announces Launch of New Cooperative Art Museum Collection Replacing The AMICO Library

 

Cartography Associates announced it is offering subscriptions to Art Museum Images from Cartography Associates (AMICA), a collection of more than 100,000 high quality works of art from prominent museums worldwide, replacing The AMICO Library, which is ceasing operations at the end of June.

 

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.  AMICA works represent a range of cultures and time periods from contemporary art, Native American and Intuit art, to ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian works along with Japanese and Chinese works.

 

“AMICA is more than a replacement for The AMICO Library,” says David Rumsey, president of Cartography Associates.  “We are dedicated to growing this resource and making it one of the finest, highest quality collections of cultural resources available.”

 

Access to this important collection is provided using Luna Imaging’s award-winning Insight software. From the desktop users can conveniently view and work with high-resolution images from AMICA and use advance tools for search, exploration and display of the collection.  In addition, those institutions with an Insight license can simply add their AMICA subscription to their own visual collections for seamless integration with other content.

 

Along with powerful tools for working with the collection, AMICA subscribers have the added benefit of access to other free content, including The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, the Japanese Historical Map Collection and the Farber Gravestone collection.

 

Cartography Associates Visual Collections image portal at www.davidrumsey.com/collections also allows free access to more than 35 other unique collections available in Insight, ranging from Cornell University’s Political Americana collection to the selected permanent works of eight California museums contained in Museums & the Online Archive of California. Combined, this growing collective of arts and cultural heritage resources numbers more than 300,000 images.

 

Current subscribers to The AMICO Library will receive information in the coming weeks about the transition.  The rate structure for AMICA will remain the same as the original The AMICO Library subscription.
