Visual Collections: Images of Art, History, and Culture

Indexing Yes Interface Insight Java Browser or Client
Coverage 1,000's of images Vendor Cartography Associates

The Visual Collections site from Cartography Associates contains dozens of digital image collections from Museums, Universities and private collections throughout the world. Collections have been organized into five topics: Cartography; Fine Arts; Architecture; Photography; and Other; and are also presented as a complete list in the View All tab.

Cartography Associates strives to provide an on-line environment wherein all types of digital collections from a wide range of resources can be fused together into one large, comprehensive collection. Users may simultaneously view multiple collections from any category. All collections are presented in the Luna Insight® software and many offer the collection in both the Insight® Browser and Insight® Java Client. Users can search through multiple collections ranging from antiquity to the present for a particular artist, time period, or medium.

There are both free and subscription based collections. By clicking on the Description link below each collection a separate pop-up window will appear with a full description of the collection and a link to its main site. Using the viewing tools in the Image Workspace, both the Insight Browser and Insight Java Client will allow you to perform a variety of tasks such as zooming, viewing image data, panning and scrolling, and printing of the image and its data. For a quick glance at the power of Insight, visit the Insight® Flash Tutorial.
