Interested in contributing images?

Arman; Max Beckmann's Colors; 1987The ARTstor Digital Library is targeted and powerful way of promoting the teaching and study of your collections to thousands of curators, scholars, educators, librarians, and students around the world. ARTstor is a trusted repository, infrastructure, and network dedicated to sharing image collections exclusively for non-commercial educational and research uses.

With each new collection that enters into the Digital Library, new possibilities for research, comparison, and analysis open up through the aggregation of multiple collections in a single online workspace. With the combination of outstanding collections and intuitive software tools, previously siloed image collections become discoverable in the context of other valuable collections in the arts, architecture, humanities, and the social sciences. Through collaborative collection-building with our community of museums, libraries, photo archives, scholars, photographers, artists, and artists' estates, ARTstor serves as a robust means for disseminating your collection to schools, community colleges, universities, libraries, and museums.

All new collections are promoted in our various publicity channels to nearly 65,000 curators, scholars, educators, librarians, and students, and to the nearly 1,200 educational institutions that teach and study with ARTstor. It is free to contribute digital collections to ARTstor, and the collections would be available in ARTstor on a non-exclusive basis enabling you to continue licensing and sharing your collections through other channels as well. For more detailed information about contribution, download our Contributor's Guide.
