New addition to ARTstor: Council of Independent Colleges Historic Campus Architecture Project (CIC HCAP)

April 23, 2008

The CIC HCAP image collection of campus architecture will be released in ARTstor later this month. HCAP is the first national architecture and landscape database of independent college and university campuses. This project presents information about significant buildings, landscapes, campus plans, and heritage sites of American higher education and identifies sources for further research. Supported by grants from the Getty Foundation, the CIC HCAP documents nearly 2,100 places of historical significance on private college and university campuses. To date, nearly 400 institutions have participated in the CIC HCAP project that includes nearly 5,000 images relating to these sites.
