ANGELICA Image Database
The Georgetown University Slide and Image Library is a support service of the Department of Art and Art History. 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 133,000 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 study.
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 Department of Art and Art History, the professors of archaeology in the Classics deptartment 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.
