Interdisciplinary uses

Jacob Lawrence 1917-2000; Cafe Comedian; 1957The ARTstor Digital Library serves users both within the arts and in disciplines outside of the arts. This includes historians of art and architecture and others engaged with the visual arts, as well as individuals in fields as diverse as American Studies, Anthropology, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Literary Studies, Medieval Studies, Music, Religious Studies, and Renaissance Studies, all of whom find the images in ARTstor to be relevant to their teaching and research.

The series of handouts below highlights the relevance and value of the ARTstor Digital Library to educators, scholars, and students in these many disciplines. We hope these handouts can help in outreach efforts to faculty, students, and others in your community, and in encouraging the use of images in teaching, learning, and scholarship across the arts and humanities and beyond.
