about visual media resources

The Visual Media Resources department maintains the teaching collection of slides and digital images for faculty use and provides equipment, support, and training for students, faculty, and alumni wishing to produce their own slides or digital images for teaching and presentations. In collaboration with the Visual Resources Department at Bard College, VMR is actively building a collection of digital images that are made available to faculty and students on the MDID platform.

The slide collection currently consists of approximately 50,000 slides, many of which have been catalogued in an electronic database. The digital image collection comprises approximately 10,000 images to support survey courses in the decorative arts and material culture, as well as other selected areas of study.

Visual Media Resources is located on the third floor at 38 West 86th Street. Staff is available Monday through Thursday from 9am to 7pm, and Fridays from 9am to 5pm.
