The Georgetown University Slide
and Image Library is a support service of the Department of
Art, Music & Theater. Holdings currently stand at more
than 120,000 slides of Western art and architecture. There
is a growing collection of digital images as well. Slide holdings
which have been computer cataloged stand at 100,000 entries.
The web-based ANGELICA
Image Library allows user searches by subject, period, country,
artist, site, museum, sitter and literary reference, among
other parameters. The database also has subject heading parameters.
Written in Access, the web-based database incorporates digital
images along with the text records. This allows on-line searching,
research and image stury.
Strengths of the image collection include Italian Renaissance
and Northern Renaissance art and architecture, Dutch Baroque
art, particularly the work of Rembrandt van Rijn and his school,
eighteenth century art and architecture, nineteenth-century
art, American art and architecture, Russian art and Islamic
art and architecture. The chief users of this essential service
are the professors of culture at Georgetown University--the
professors of art history in the Dept. of Art, Music &
Theatre, the professors of archaeology in the Classics dept.
and other campus art historians. They have priority use of
the slide collection. Slides are also lent to interdisciplinary
Georgetown University faculty and students (with limitations
on time, number of slides and on-campus use only) for in-class
use. Slides are not lent for extracurricular use beyond the
campus confines.
General rules and regulations are
posted in the Slide Library.
