JSTOR is a growing digital library that includes multiple types and formats of content. Artstor images have now moved into JSTOR, to create a robust platform for discovering and working with both text and images. Images from Artstor collections can now be found in JSTOR, and JSTOR platform features and functionality have evolved to support work with multiple formats of research materials.

You can only download if you register for an account, which you'll need to do on campus. After you have an account, you can login from anywhere. More information and help in using JSTOR images.

The library subscribes to or has built a number of image databases that are excellent sources of images you can download and add to your papers and other projects. You need to keep in mind that some of them have licensing restricts that prohibit the re-publication (including open web publishing, such as on a blog or on social networking sites) of images you download. There are also quite a few digital collections that are free and open on the web. Use the library Visual Resources page for links and information about how best to use ARTstor and other image databases.
