Visual Resource Center


The Visual Resources Center (VRC) is a digital and analog image library dedicated to supporting the teaching, research and study needs of faculty and students within the School of Art and the College of Fine Arts. The VRC curatorial team, which consists of the Director, Curatorial Associate, and student support staff, is committed to assisting patrons with their image resource needs. Collection development is founded on curricular need primarily in support of, but not restricted to, instructional use by the Division of Art History.


The VRC image collection consists of over 300,000 slides and is comprehensive in it’s representation of Western, Pre Columbian, Native American, Asian, Islamic and African art. The VRC also shares a digital image database with the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) which is constantly expanding and currently contains over 40,000 digital image records.
