2. 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.

11. Overview of ARTstor’s Collections

12. 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?

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. The Illustrated Bartsch

23. 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

27. 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
