The Visual Resource Collection is an essential part of the Art & Art History Department, providing both faculty and students with a wealth of visual imagery/information for teaching and study. The collection includes over 120,000 mounted slides spanning the history of art and architecture from prehistoric times to the present, in all representational media. Also included in the collection are mounted study photographs and a growing selection of books, catalogs, and periodicals. The Visual Resource Collection is under the direction of a full-time Curator. Student Assistants are hired each year to help with a variety of services that include assisting faculty and other students, as well as photographing images, mounting negatives, entering data into a searchable database, and research.
