-- 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:

Detroit Institute of Arts 1577
Fine Arts
Frick Collection and Art Reference Library Collection 1577
George Eastman House 4848
Library of Congress 20661
Minneapolis Institute of Arts 4604
