How technology and fashion can interact is explored in this video of a recent catwalk show.
Last week’s RX-Network workshop on Managing & Researching Visual Resources for Art, Architecture and Design History at KU London was incredibly useful. (Thanks to Fran Lloyd and Aislinn Loconte for running it.) Here are some resources, some known and some new to me, which I will be exploring in the next few weeks:
- AHDS Visual Art contains over thirty visual collections, including the Design Council Archive and Slide Collection, the African and Asian Visual Artists Archive and the Crafts Study Centre amongst others. Access is through free registration.
- V&A Images
- The Education Image Library is possible the most interesting for my research project as it contains images from Hulton Archive, Photodisc and Getty Images News. Access is by institutional subscription.
- RIBApix is the Royal Institute of British Architects photolibrary.
- ArtStor is the sister company to JStor, and contains the collections from many American museums, galleries and libraries, as well as the V&A, the Natural History Museum and the Scale. Access is by institutional subscription.
- Bridgeman Education contains the collections of the Art Workers’ Guild, Central St Martins and the Fitzwilliam Museum. Access is by subscription.
- SCRAN is a predominantly Scottish collection of images, including the collection from the Glasgow School of Art. Access is by subscription.
- Collage is the portal for the collections of the Corporation of London, including the Guildhall Art Gallery and Guildhall Library Print Room. The collection is strongest on London topography and London life from C15th to the present day. Access is free.
- CORBIS is a commerical picture library with strong collections of art and illustration. Access is free.
- Heritage Image Partnership
