Hi Chieko,

Thanks for your query about architecture coverage in ARTstor Digital Library. We currently make available 1.2+ million images and more than 250,000 images are of architecture and built works from prehistory to the present. Collections include high-resolution images from: ART on FILE: Contemporary Architecture and Public Art; Esto: Ezra Stoller and Wayne Andrews; Scala Archives; Erich Lessing Archives; Ralph Lieberman; QTVRs of World Monuments and Sites (Columbia University); Sites and Photos; Canyonlights; and dozens more collections from scholars and special collections. We also collaborate with the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) to share images from the SAHARA project. Finally, there are several more architectural collections about to be launched, such as Renzo Piano Building Workshop, where we will be sharing photos, drawings, and plans directly from Piano.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions about collection coverage in architecture.

Best wishes,
Christine

Hello,  I am a reference librarian and I also work for architecture school.  Our university does not have Art/Art history major, so we do not have any image databases.

I just wonder ARTstor is useful for architecture major students?  My understanding of ARTstor is more art history focusing database.  I know there is a very good architecture image database (such as the Archivision), but too expensive to purchase.  ARTstor is relatively reasonable price for subscribe.  If someone could answer my question, I would very appreciate!

 

Thank you for your attention.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chieko Sato
