Slide
Library
The Visual Resources Library is a teaching resources unit
that acquires, organizes, and provides effective access to art, architecture,
and related images for faculty and students of the Department of Art
at Tulane University . Faculty members from other departments are
welcome to use the collection with the previous permission of the
Visual Resources Curator.
Begun
around 1920, the Library's collection currently numbers an estimated
200,000 analog slides as well as other visual media used in the teaching
of art history and related disciplines. Holdings are strong in Western
art, as well as in that of Latin America, Africa and the Diaspora,
and Asia . Our facilities include a large space with study carrels,
light tables, storage cabinets, as well as adjacent spaces for staff
and technical processing.
The
slide collection is in the process of being converted to digital image
files. Currently, analog slides are no longer being created.
Audio-Visual
Support
The Visual Resources Center houses projectors (both traditional
slide and digital), laptop computers, a Mac G5, cameras, scanners
(flatbed and slide), speakers, microphones, and an assortment of
other audio-visual hardware and software. These materials are available
for students, staff, and faculty of the art department and related
departments on request.
Technical
Support
The Visual Resources Center also offers technical support
for most services, equipment, and software available in the library.
Training and/or presentations may be requested.
