Notes de l'éditeur
TheMetropolitian Museum of Art approached ARTstor about distrubting, for scholarly publications, images from the museums collection FREE OF CHARGE. The MET wanted their works to reach scholars and quality work.
A 1997 report stated: It is conservatively estimated that a semester long art history course may use 2000 slides… At a mid-sized institution where there are 10 art history courses being taught each semester, professors will use 40,000 slides a year. –Wagner articleWho took care of these slides? Visual Resource Curator or librarian or “slide librarians”
ARTstor works with artists, scholars, photograhpers, colleges, universities and archives to create collections.Available by subscription to non-profit organizations. 1.3 million images
Over half a million images thus far. Content Selection Curators throughout NYPL have identified and nominated materials to be included in NYPL Digital Gallery. Emphasizing pictorial and artifactual significance when making their selections, these experts focused on holdings that met one or more of the following criteria:materials already in high demand by the publicunique or very rare treasures too vulnerable for routine availabilityunwieldy or brittle artifacts that are difficult to servekey holdings in particular collection strengths identified with The Librarylittle-known but important items from the collections deemed worthy of discoveryhttp://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgabout.cfm

Google is a great and fast way to search for images but there are large issues with Google’s copyright on images.In the Advanced Search you can limit your search to reuse, but goolge advices the user: Before reusing content that you've found, you should verify that its license is legitimate and check the exact terms of reuse stated in the license. For example, most licenses require that you give credit to the image creator when reusing an image. Google has no way of knowing whether the license is legitimate, so we aren't making any representation that the content is actually or lawfully licensed.
Catalog information such as size, where the image is housed, year, artists, etc.
