Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

ARTstor would like to thank you for your continued support and contributions this past year.  In 2008, the community contributed dozens of important and unique collections to the ARTstor Digital Library. We released 22 new collections, added content to 21 existing collections, and reached agreements with 33 new museums, photoarchives, libraries, scholars, professional photographers, and artists and artists’ estates. The ARTstor Digital Library collection now totals 890,000 images and will soon include nearly 1,000,000 images with the release of the Magnum Photos collection in early 2009. More detailed information can be found below and on our website: http://www.artstor.org/news/n-html/an-081218-2007-recap.shtml

 

Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Christine Kuan
