Hi Stephanie, Similar to Deborah's response, in addition to Minneapolis Institute of Arts works available via ARTstor, images of MIA objects available via our educational website ArtsConnectEd (a joint project with Walker Art Center) http://www.artsconnected.org/ may be downloaded for use in educational projects and for personal use without needing formal permission. The image files are suitable for classroom use, papers, and research projects and may be collected and shared via ACE's Art Collector features.
Scholars who require hi-res digital files for publication should contact permissions at artsmia.org with details regarding their intended use in to obtain larger image files and image use permission. Fees for digital image files and image reproduction fees are typically waived for scholarly, not-for-profit uses, though we request copies of the finished publication for inclusion in our museum library.

To: mcn-l at mcn.edu Message-ID: <BANLkTinO8A-z2ewK499hmeH4NoW-7Ypgjw at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" **Please excuse cross-posting!** Hello collective wisdom, I wanted to update my records on which museums and institutions offer images for academic publishing, so that if a faculty member wants information on what is available "out there" for high-quality imagery for their upcoming publication, I will have an updated list. At VRA/ARLIS 2011, ARTstor presented on the expansion of their IAP program, so I am already aware of what they are doing. My records are now outdated and consist of the V&A Museum and the British Museum. Does anyone know of others? Also, I know that stipulations usually require a print run of 4,000 or less and may have other usage restrictions. In addition to ARTstor, I am also aware of VADS, Bridgeman Art Library, AKG-images, and of course, Art Resource. From the VRA Listserve, I was able to add AICT and Yale University Art Gallery my no-cost list and the New York Public Library, the Granger Collection, and Archivision as some for-a-fee options. Are there other similar services? Thank you so much! ------------------------------------------------ Stephanie Beene (MA and MSIS) Visual Resources Coordinator Lewis and Clark College 0615 SW Palatine Hill Rd.
