Digital Collections Built by UCI
Principles
- Facilitate resource sharing and co-investment
- Reduce redundant effort (e.g., digitizing the same image twice)
- Create efficiencies for users and contributors (e.g., simplifying workflow and user experience)
- Anticipate future needs and trends.
- Digital Image Archive
UCI Visual Resources catalog of the slide collection with a growing archive of digital images. - UCI: Visual Resources Collection in ARTstor
UC Irvine started building a shared image collection of 35 millimeter slides in 1965 and continues the tradition of preserving and making accessible an instructional collection of world art and architecture (pre-historic to present), with collateral material for other area studies. Image acquisitions are based upon the research, teaching, and learning needs of students, faculty, and staff thus reflecting the interests of the UC.
