There are many books in our collections that feature high-quality images that you can use in a project. Most art books start with the call number N, but be aware that some of these books are quite large and are shelved in our Oversize collection. You can view a map of our call number floor plan on our website.
The library has many databases with images files to support your research & coursework. Below I have selected a few that are most relevant to IMA, but you can view our full list here. These can be valuable resources, but it's important to realize that these streaming databases are under copyright, and will prohibit downloading video or audio files. Some databases, notably those published by Alexander Street Press do allow you to create playlists or specific clips of their files. You can embed or link to these files, clips, or playlists in online projects, such as those using Storymapper or blogging.
An increasing number of museums and galleries are making their collections available online, allowing you to view works of fine art in high-resolution. I have curated many (but obviously not all) of these galleries here. Below I have highlighted websites that feature Public Domain and images licensed for the Creative Commons.
I've done my best to evaluate these sources in curating this list, but the Internet is an ever-changing environment. I cannot guarantee that these websites don't have materials that violate copyright. It is ultimately the responsibility of you, the users & researchers, to verify the copyright status and/or license information for the media you find using the links of on this guide. Please always double-check that the websites have not changed their terms & conditions, that they do have the right to host the media it does, and verify the license/credit requirements for each specific file(s) you are downloading
