Research Resources: “Yale University Art Gallery Digitizes its Publications”

From the Yale Daily News:

A digitization effort of more than 50 years of the Yale University Art Gallery’s scholarly publications is gradually nearing completion.

The Online Access project was conceived during the start of the pandemic in an effort to increase the accessibility of the art gallery’s publications even while its doors were closed. This has involved two years of electronically uploading each of the gallery’s prior exhibit catalogs and accompanying them with alt text to ensure an immersive experience for all its potential users.

Among the currently digitized publications, visitors can find everything from catalogs of Yale’s ancient bronze collections to Alfred Stieglitz’s 1999 nature photography exhibit at the University. According to Sprague, some of the highlights include the catalog for Matthew Barney’s “Redoubt” exhibition in 2019, which quickly went out of print, and a 2010 volume from the student-curated exhibition program, “Embodied: Black Identities in American Art from the Yale University Art Gallery.”
