Research Tools: New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC) Adds New Collections to Discovery Tool
From a New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC) Blog Post:
NYARC Discovery is a new research tool from the libraries of the Brooklyn Museum, The Frick Collection, and The Museum of Modern Art.
We are happy to introduce the integration of two important collections into NYARC Discovery – the NYARC web archives collections and images from the Frick Art Reference Library’s Photoarchive.
Web Archives
Researchers can now discover web archives along with books, journal articles, auction catalogs, traditional archives and a host of other materials while performing a single search in NYARC Discovery. Given the ephemeral nature of digital content, web archives are becoming increasingly important to document the scholarly and cultural record, making it essential to make them easily accessible to users.
Photoarchive
The Frick Art Reference Library’s Photoarchive is a study collection of more than one million photographic reproductions of works of art from the fourth to the mid-twentieth century by artists trained in the Western tradition. As of summer 2016, nearly 200,000 catalog records and over 75,000 digital images are accessible through NYARC Discovery.
