Hello Everyone - <br><br>
After Kathryn James' terrific REFresher of the Beinecke collections in
which she mentioned Art Storage, I wanted to make a clear distinction
between it and ARTstor. <font size=2> <br><br>
According to the Beinecke web site, "The
<a href="http://inky.library.yale.edu/art_storage.html">Art Storage</a>
database contains brief records for large paintings, watercolors,
sculpture, memorabilia, and objects in the Beinecke collections. There
are several access points -- collection, creator, subject/title, medium
and support -- as well as a brief description of the item. This database
was created as a locator file and NOT as a catalog. Other art in the
Beinecke collections can be located through the Manuscript Card Catalog,
the
<a href="http://webtext.library.yale.edu/finddocs/fadsear.htm">Database
of Archival Collections and Manuscripts </a>and the two Yale Collection
of American Literature files --
<a href="http://www.library.yale.edu/orbis/special_catalogs.html#ycal">
Objects and Memorabilia</a>."<br><br>
ARTstor
(<a href="http://www.artstor.org/" eudora="autourl">www.artstor.org</a>)
is a r</font>epository of hundreds of thousands of digital images and
related data. ARTstor does not have any Yale collections in its
database. Yale licenses ARTstor content which, until 2004, was supported
by the Mellon Foundation. ARTstor is now an independent
entity. Here is the listing of collections within the charter
collection:<br><br>
