Hello all,
Although I am not an art librarian, I am the bibliographer for the art department
at our college. My art department has a collection of over10,000 slides housed
in a set of very old filing
cabinets that need to be replaced. I’ve done some searching online, but with
little luck. I thought I’d ask the members of this list (who have more
knowledge than Google) if you could recommend companies or systems who make
cabinets or other large slide filing systems that might be worth investigating.
As an alternative, I have suggested to the art department that they replace
the physical slide collection with digital collections they can purchase from
various commercial vendors. Those I’ve found include ARTstor, Corbis
(Gale), Davis Art Images, and Universal Art Images. Are there others you could
recommend?
I very much appreciate any suggestions and ideas. Thank you!
