ARTstor Collection Update

April 24th, 2009 by Karen · No Comments

Willaim Keighley Collection - The Metropolitan Museum of Art

ARTstor is collaborating with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to share approximately 5,500 images of European art and architecture photographed by William Keighley in the Digital Library. The collection will include documentation of art and architecture from key cities in France, Germany, Spain, and Austria. Of particular note are a set of 1,000 images documenting the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. The shrine of St. James the Greater, patron saint of Spain, in Santiago de Compostela was one of the most important religious destinations for pilgrims during the Middle Ages.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Image Library houses the complete collection created by William Keighley (1889-1984), which consists of approximately 35,000 35 mm color slides, divided into 28 thematic sets. Prior to his death, Keighley donated his slide collection to the Museum to educate the public on the unique art and architectural heritage of select areas of the world.

For more detailed information about this collection, visit the William Keighley Collection page.
