Using JSTOR Images (formerly ARTstor)

The CCA Libraries subscribe to JSTOR Images, the premier image database for art and design research. It contains over two million high-resolution images contributed by museums, archives, universities, and libraries. Every image has corresponding data about the creator, materials used, and location of the original.

To download images, individual users need to create a free JSTOR account. Our institutional subscription allows CCA faculty, students, and staff to use JSTOR images (with proper attribution) for educational purposes such as research papers, presentations, and lectures.
