Visual Resources Collection

WELCOME

The Visual Resources Collection (VRC) is a teaching collection of art and architecture images in both analog 35mm slide and digital formats. Currently there are over 20,000 digital images from our collection available to use in your courses here at Ithaca College. During its heyday the VRC had approximately 160,000 slides in the slide collection. As of 2006, slides were no longer acquired. We are currently in the process of de-accessioning the collection and plan to keep a core collection of slides for research purposes.

We are excited about our new initiative - hosting our digital image collection on ARTstor.

The hosting program allows the VRC to upload the Art History Department's teaching collection of images to ARTstor's site. This collection provides faculty with an even larger repository of images for teaching and student study, and also allow the department's images to be seamlessly integrated with ARTstor's vast collection, either via ARTstor's online presentation tools, or through its Offline Image Viewer. The VRC will continue to expand the department's digital image database and will be adding new images to the ARTstor repository on an ongoing basis. When you log into ARTstor’s home page you will see the Ithaca College - Visual Resources Collection link and you can either search on that collection alone or all of their collections.  You can create image groups, course folders, study guides and presentations all through ARTstor.

Please make an appointment to learn more about our hosted digital image collection on ARTstor.

The Visual Resources Collection is located in Gannett Center - room 108 on the first floor of the library building.

We are open Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm during the academic year.  We are closed on weekends and holidays and mid-June through mid-August.
