WELCOME to the Arts Library
 
The Yale University Visual Resources Collection is over sixty years old and is comprised of approximately 320,000 slides (both lantern and 35mm) and 187,000 mounted photographs. The collection was and is formed in response to curricular needs. The collection is part of the library system, and is administered by the Arts Library. Primary patrons are the departments of History of Art, American Studies, and History, and the schools of Art, Architecture, Drama, and Divinity; anyone, however, may use the collection to prepare Yale lectures. Plans are underway to digitize the collection; some photo study is now available on the web. Please consult with the VR Curator about digital services and web course support.
