ARTstor Adds Three Digital Collections from Cornell

New Addition to the ARTstor Digital Library: Three Digital
Collections from the Cornell University Library *

We are pleased to announce that the ARTstor Digital Library has just
been enriched by three important digital collections from the Cornell
University Library. The collections are:

*Andrew Dickson White Architectural Photographs*

The Andrew Dickson White Architectural Photographs Collection is a collection of nearly
1,400 19th- and early 20th-century photographs of architecture,
decorative arts and sculpture in Europe and the U.S. These materials
will complement both ARTstor’s already strong holdings in the history
of architecture and its expanding holdings in the history of
photography.

*Southeast Asia Visions *

“Southeast Asia Visions” is a digital collection of European travel accounts of Southeast Asia dating
between 1630 and 1930, from Cornell University Library's John M.
Echols Collection and Rare and Manuscript Collections. This collection
provides online access to the visual content of more than 350 books
and journal articles written in English and French. The images now
included in ARTstor from the Southeast Asia Visions collection were
selected for the quality of their first-hand documentation and visual
beauty, providing a comprehensive visual representation of Southeast
Asia as recorded by Europeans. The accounts in the collection include
some 10,000 images, drawings, photographs, prints and maps, many of
them in color. This collection will powerfully complement ARTstor’s
already rich holdings in the art, architecture and culture of Asia (as
reflected in the Huntington Archive of Asian Art, the Mellon
International Dunhuang Archive, and the ACSAA Collection from the
University of Michigan, the first fruits of which have recently been
released into the ARTstor Digital Library).

*Masterpieces from the Hill Ornithological Collection, Cornell
University Library*

This selection from the Hill Ornithological Collection at Cornell offers a collection of more than 200 images that
traces the development of ornithological illustration in the 18th and
19th centuries. In its focus upon the 18th and 19th centuries, the
collection complements ARTstor’s already strong holdings in the
history of prints (anchored by ARTstor’s digital version of The
Illustrated Bartsch) as well as ARTstor’s growing collection of
natural history illustration (especially the “First Fleet” collection
from the Natural History, London).

To browse these new images, please click on “Image Gallery” on the
ARTstor “welcome page” and then select from the following: “Andrew
Dickson White Collection of Architectural Photographs (Cornell
University Library)”; “Southeast Asia Visions: John M. Echols
Collection (Cornell University Library)”; or “Hill Ornithology
Collection (Cornell University Library).” Or you may simply search by
keyword (e.g. “Visions Cornell”).

We are grateful to the Cornell University Library for wishing to share
these outstanding digital collections through the ARTstor Digital
Library.
