The Visual Arts Department Slide Library contains nearly 100,000 slides with images of architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, and minor arts. Developed as a teaching resource, the collection reflects the topics of courses offered in the Visual Arts Department. Although primarily used as a teaching tool for art history and studio classes, slides may be borrowed by faculty from other departments. We also have a borrowing policy for students in upper-level courses and/or seminars.

Slides may be selected and held on reserve in the Slide Library up to one week in advance of a lecture. Since most of the slides in the collection are protected by copyright law, duplication of slides is not permitted.
