About the Visual Resources Collection
Introduction
The Visual Resources Collection (VRC) provides digital images in all areas
of visual culture in the Arts and Humanities. The VRC Digital Library
contains approximately 300,000 images and grows through faculty
requests and general collection development. Faculty are welcome to
submit requests for new digital content to be added to this collection.
Please contact Robert Carlucci, Manager, Visual Resources Collection to
learn more about request procedures or visit us in the Arts Library, 180
York Street, Room B33 on the lower level.
Use of this collection is restricted to current faculty, students and staff of
Yale University.
Using the VRC and other Yale Digital Image Collections
Access to the VRC Digital Collection is available through several portals
including this page or via the Yale Digital Collections cross-collection
search that encompasses content from other Yale collections including
Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts, the Department of Manuscripts
and Archives, the Department of Classics and the Lewis Walpole Library.
In addition, a large selection of the VRC collection is available through
ARTstor.
Image Search Features
Simple Search operates as a general keyword search, using one or more
terms. The Search Results Page includes features to refine your search by
criteria such as Creator or Subject Heading. Individual image pages
include hypertext metadata and a selection of related images to assist
patrons in discovering content. Advanced Search features include
“strict/fuzzy” parameters for each metadata field to handle spelling
variations or uncertain terminology. A Guided Search allows patrons to
navigate the collection broadly using selected criteria such as Creator or
Subject Headings. These search and discovery features are designed to
assist all Library patrons, from regular users who visit this Web site often
to new or infrequent users seeking additional assistance, in locating
images.
Image User Tools
With CAS login, patrons have access to advanced tools including a private
workspace to collect images from search sessions and means to create and
edit multiple groups of images for personal use or to share with other
members of the Yale community. Image groups include a slideshow
feature for classroom display and a quiz feature for individual study and
exam preparation. Large images (1000 pixels) are available, suitable for
PowerPoint presentations.
ARTstor
ARTstor, an initiative of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is a
subscription-based digital image resource with more than 1,200,000
images of global art and architecture. The ARTstor Web site offers a
variety of features useful for teaching support. In addition to content
provided by ARTstor, a selection of the Yale Visual Resources Collection is
also accessible through the ARTstor interface. This combined collection
total more than 1,500,000 images.
Teaching with Digital Media
The Visual Resources Technology Specialist is available to assist faculty
with classroom presentations and strategies for using images in teaching
and research. Please contact Carolyn Caizzi to arrange an appointment.
