New E-Resources!

The TCC libraries recently set up access to two new electronic databases, CAMIO and ArchiveGrid.

CAMIO is a database of art images, much like ArtStor.. There are nearly 100,000 images included from museums all around the world. Some of the contributers are the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C., and the Dallas Museum of Art.

ArchiveGrid is an online catalog of museum, historical society, university and library archives across the United States. Unfortunately, you can't actually access the material in the archives, but you can see where items can be found and learn more about what is in each archive; check out the record for the David L. Boren archives kept at the University of Oklahoma. Other participating archives include the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Oklahoma Historical Society and the Vatican Secret Archives!
