What is ARTstor?

   

ARTstor Logo

ARTstor is a nonprofit digital image library with more than two million images in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences. ARTstor provides access to high-resolution digital images from museums, libraries, and archives around the world. These images are available to the Cañada Community for educational, non-commercial use.

The Artstor Digital Library provides straightforward access to curated images from reliable sources that have been rights-cleared for use in education and research — you are free to use them in classroom instruction and handouts, presentations, student assignments, and other noncommercial educational and scholarly activities.

And unlike results from Google or other search engines, ARTstor images come with high-quality metadata from the collection catalogers, curators, institutions, and artists themselves.

For more information about ARTstor and copyright/fair use check out the ARTstor Copyright and Image Use in the Artstor Digital Library guide.
