Visual Resources

Visual Resources Library
The visual resources library is housed in the Department of Art and Art History and staffed by a visual resources librarian. As subject liaison to Boatwright Memorial Library, the librarian is available by appointment for research consultations with students and faculty. Images are accessible to all students across campus, regardless of discipline. The library’s art subject page is a helpful resource with RSS feeds from museum podcasts and international art news.

ARTstor
Boatwright Memorial Library subscribes to ARTstor, a database holding over ½ million images for teaching and learning. Images may be organized, studied and commentary recorded in the online environment, or downloaded for use in presentations and term papers. Local collections (15,000 images digitized to meet local teaching needs) are also housed in ARTstor and can be found by first logging into the database, then clicking to the “University of Richmond Teaching Image Collection.” ARTstor is available only to the University of Richmond community on campus, or by using a VPN connection off-campus. Many professors organize images for study in ARTstor, from which they may be printed or studied online.
