New Addition to ARTstor

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.
