about ARTstor
ARTstor is a non-profit organization that builds and distributes a library of digital images and QTVR files online, and includes a set of tools to find, view, organize, share, and present these images. More than one million images are currently represented through ARTstor from collections such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Bodleian Library. Images created through the Visual Resources Collection at the U of I, as well as the University's subscriptions to Archivision and Saskia Art Images will be made available through ARTstor.
ARTstor features an extensive help section where users can browse by help topic, read FAQs, or search for their question, but If you need further assistance please contact the Visual Resources Center. One-on-one or group training is available by appointment. Despite its name, ARTstor offers images on a variety of topics other than art.
- To access ARTstor from on campus, users can go directly to www.artstor.org or click on the link at the top of the page. From the welcome screen, click on the red Go button in the upper right corner. Once the digital library loads users can either log in or register for advanced functionality, or begin searching and browsing for images.
- To access ARTstor remotely, registered users can go directly to ARTstor and log in. ARTstor allows for a 120 day remote access period which can be reset by logging in on-site or through a proxy server.
If you are not yet registered for ARTstor, you can still log-in remotely through either a proxy server or VPN.
