 Collections - The Image Gallery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The Image Gallery was conceived to be a broad and deep online resource for teaching and research in the arts, humanities and social sciences – a resource that would be – and is being - expanded and updated continuously over time with the help of a range of institutional and individual partners.
Accordingly, the majority of the initial images in the Image Gallery were, like the majority of the images routinely employed by teachers in art history and related fields, derived from 35mm color slides made from high-quality reproductions in the scholarly literature and cataloged with descriptions based on that literature.
The UCSD images were also accompanied by assigned subject headings which permit, for example, topical and subject searches (such as “feminism” or “racism”) to retrieve meaningful results, thus enriching the value of the Image Gallery for students, teachers and scholars all across the arts and humanities and beyond.
