A. Lewis Aycock
Visual Resources Library
and Print Collection
Located
in Scales Fine Arts Center
Room 110, the visual resources library is a reference collection of digital
images, slides, art books, journals, videos, and DVDs.
The
image collection consists of over 200,000 images of art and architecture from
prehistoric times to the present day. These materials are used not only by the
art history and studio faculty and students, but also by other faculty and
visiting lecturers in all disciplines, especially literature, religion, world
history, civilization,
and languages.
Our
MDID Database of Digital Images
can be accessed by faculty from their own computers, even from Europe and Asia.
It is available to anyone using their WFU login and VPN. This is a growing
collection of high quality images to use for study and classroom teaching. Its
art, architecture, civilization, historical, and cultural images complement
undergraduate lectures and enhance the study of the humanities.
Faculty should contact martine@wfu.edu to request
a faculty level account for high resolution images and personal image storage.
