ARTstor Digital Image Library : ARTstor is a digital library of art images, associated information, and software tools designed to enhance teaching, learning, and scholarship.

Instructors can create annotated image collections on ARTstor to share with students or colleagues, include high-quality, zoomable images in presentations by using the Offline Image Viewer, or download smaller copies of the images to use in PowerPoint presentations or post on password-protected course websites.
