-- With apologies for cross-posting, some of you may have been following
recent postings on the VRA listserv regarding AMICO content in ARTstor.
We at ARTstor thought this information would be of interest to ARLIS/NA
membership as well. --
Dear Colleagues -
We wanted to take a moment to provide some information about the content
from the former AMICO library currently in ARTstor. As part of its
525,000 image library, ARTstor has incorporated approximately 85 percent
of the former AMICO library with 84,872 images from over 20
AMICO-contributing museums (please see the list below of museums
contributing and the number of images contained in ARTstor). Several of
the former AMICO museums are working with us to provide more images from
their collections, enhanced cataloging information and/or higher quality
images for the records we already have.
In addition to the collections that we build with individual
photographers, scholars, special collections at libraries, and
photoarchives (such as the Frick and the National Gallery in
Washington), we are working with those museums listed below and many
that were not a part of AMICO to add their high quality images and data
as well. Those museums include: Berlin State Museums, British Museum, J.
Paul Getty Museum, Musee Guimet, Museum of Modern Art, and National
Museum of Natural History. In addition, through our collaboration with
Art Resource, the Scala Archives and the Erich Lessing Culture and Fine
Arts Archives, we are regularly adding new high-quality images of museum
objects -- these include over 20,000 works from major European museums.
Finally, we would note that our collaborations with museums are ongoing
and dynamic - as illustrated by our recent launch of Images for Academic
Publishing through which the Metropolitan Museum is making available
publishable images for scholarly publications at no fee through ARTstor.
