Welcome to Scholars Resource!

Scholars Resource is a vibrant marketplace of high quality digital image collections for the teaching of art history and related disciplines. We provide the unique opportunity and convenience of licensing high quality images and metadata in consistent formats from different vendors and multiple archives at one online source. All of our images are licensed for classroom teaching and research use in perpetuity for a one-time fee. Once licensed, images become part of your institution's permanent collection.

Currently, Scholars Resource offers complementary image collections from Saskia, Ltd., Davis Art Images, Hartill Art Associates, Archivision, The Bridgeman Art Library, the Inter-American Institute and (most recently) Kenneth Garrett, with new images continually being added.

The image collections offered through Scholars Resource have great combined strength, representing more than 200 museums around the world and totaling more than 90,250 images spanning nearly every period in art history.

Our images and metadata allow you to immediately replace your analog material with an easily searchable, high-quality digital image library, saving you time and resources. One-time licensing and one licensing fee assures that you can count on these resources to be there year after year, even when budgets may not. For easy and quick selection, images are offered for many textbook as well as for subject-based sets; sets also serve to narrow down the field for individual, quick selections.
