What is ARTstor? A not-for-profit organization created by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that is developing a digital library of art images to enhance scholarship, teaching and learning in the arts and humanities A primary resource: online Image collections and descriptive data A scholarly and pedagogical resource: software tools to enable active use of content A non-profit resource: solely for non-commercial educational and scholarly use Comments for this slide: we will soon be an independent not-for-profit organization, we take the concept of ‘associated fields’ seriously (we want to be useful for humanities and social sciences as well, using term ‘art’ very loosely – includes architecture, dec arts, etc.

Overview of ARTstor Digital Library What you can do with ARTstor Search and Browse collections Analyze images using zoom and pan Save groups of images for personal use, group use or institution-wide access Presentation / slide-show tools What you will see in ARTstor Digital images and descriptive data Initial collections include art, architecture and archeology Total number of images in charter collections: ~300,000

Overview of ARTstor’s Collections

The ARTstor Charter Collections: Research Objectives Work with a variety of content providers Libraries, museums, photo archives, publishers, slide libraries Test a variety of approaches to building collections Direct digital capture Scanning photographic sources (transparencies, prints, slides) Cost-benefit analysis Assess the user’s experience What approaches work best for a variety of users, a variety of uses, in a variety of institutional settings?

The Image Gallery The connecting fabric of the ARTstor Library Ca 200,000 images, most made from color 35mm “copystand” slides Teaching gallery based on relatively representative undergraduate curricula Subset of 4,000 images based on key monuments illustrated in standard art history survey texts Item level cataloging records available for all images, with topical subject access Discourages redundancy and allows campuses to use limited resources judiciously Point of departure for a collaborative image and data enhancement program

The MoMA Architecture and Design Collection Example of a digital museum collection catalog 8,000 images from 6,200 objects Digitized via direct digital capture Extremely high resolution images

The Mellon International Dunhuang Archive Example of an archeological documentation project 40 caves out of several hundred Digitized via direct digital capture Extremely high resolution 3D virtual tours of the shrines Working with major institutions in US, UK and France to digitize versions of materials originally located at Dunhuang

The Illustrated Bartsch Example of a digital art reference work Ca 57,000 images of old master European prints, with rich cataloging and scholarly commentary Based on 100 volume authoritative print publication Digitized from 5x7 b/w prints

Some of ARTstor’s Challenges Building the ARTstor Digital Library Managing a complex production process Coordinating flow of images, text, and other resources from multiple sources and vendors Absorbing collections with widely varying metadata structures and image quality Working without universally accepted standards Developing intuitive software tools to support a variety of uses Making the ARTstor Digital Library available and useful Understanding ARTstor’s users and potential audience Identifying where ARTstor ‘lands’ within an institution organizationally Developing scalable solutions for interoperability, access & authorization Implementing effective digital rights management and actionable rights expressions

Interoperability: What we know ARTstor needs to be a centralized resource for the following reasons To learn more about uses of digital images and users’ needs To offer more interactive tools to those who want them To create a regulated space for non-commercial use Users will almost certainly want to use ARTstor content and tools along with other digital image resources and software platforms Need to develop and implement a consistent expression and management of rights for all digital content in ARTstor
