Visual Media Center
The Visual Media Center (VMC) provides digital imaging services to faculty for learning, research and teaching purposes. Digital images produced or purchased by the VMC are found in the Artstor Digital Library, a database available through the University Libraries to all DU community members. The visual resources collection contains nearly two-hundred thousand high-resolution images accompanied by high-quality metadata by VMC catalogers that faculty and students can use for research, studying and citations, unlike results from Google or other search engines. The collection reflects the cultural and art historical diversity and inclusivity of the curriculum of the School of Art & Art History, and contains historical, geographic and didactic materials that will be useful to many disciplines and departments at DU. In addition to the teaching collections, faculty can explore artwork and archival objects held in the University Art Collections and the Special Collections at the Penrose Library.
Anyone in the DU community can request to have still images added to the visual resources collection for educational purposes. If you have questions about requesting images or the VMC, contact the Interim Director, Meagan Callahan. The VMC is located in room 122 in Shwayder Art Building.
