About this guide

This guide will address image resources related to numerous disciplines that are accessibly online, through licensed library resources, in print, or as primary source material that is viewable on campus. 

It is divided into discipline specific collections, as well as a page for multidisciplinary collections. Multidisciplinary collections are generally larger collections that span multiple disciplines. 

Collection links are sometimes include an icon. These indicate the following: 

•    University login required 
•    Open access
•    Pay service
•    Video content included
   

It is important to remember that despite the availability and richness of many online collections, many more works have not been digitized or made accessible through metadata. If you're looking for something specific for your research, you may need to contact relevant archives or museums to arrange digitization. You may also find what you need by consulting printed work, such as books and articles. 

If you'd like to schedule a consultation, please contact Sarah Christensen, Visual Resources and Outreach Specialist, at schrstn@illinois.edu.
