This Australian National University server contains over 1.2 gigabytes of data which are not available elsewhere. It offers a variety of image collections and small presentations, all of which deal in some way with Art History. The current setup will be improved when time, money and assistance permit. Your opinions and suggestions on the content, arrangement and display of materials on this server are earnestly sought: please email me !
This server offers access to around 10,200 images, to a full-length book, and to a mechanism for searching text via a forms interface, as well as a way of "dialing up" the images you want via forms - a kind of "database" interface. The collection consists of some 2,800 images of prints, largely from the 15th century to the end of the 19th century. There are over 8,500 images of architecture & architectural sculpture from around the Mediterranean, from all periods up to the 19th century, and a small selection of Islamic monuments. Work is in progress on ways of storing, displaying and dispatching to users much higher-quality images than the 740x540 (approx) pixel images currently on offer.

Riefenstahl's Triumph

copyright but, if not, will somebody email me quickly and I'll take
them off?
