The Archivision Digital Research Library
(currently 66,000 18 MB TIFF files and over 200 HD videos)

The Library is only licensed in sequential modules. All license fees
are ONE-TIME and in perpetuity.

The Archivision Digital Research Library is a unique and fast growing collection of high quality images – photographed by a professional photographer, trained as an architect, and past Visual Resource curator.

Each site documentation is extensive – intending to provide for in-depth visual research and analysis by students of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, archaeology, art and art history.

A core architecture collection covering important Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th and 19th Century, Islamic and Modern sites, gardens, parks and works of public art selected from our growing archive of more than 120,000 images. The Library can only be licensed in modules, starting with the Base Collection of 16,000 images. The Library expands each year via Addition Modules of 6,000 images each. The Addition Modules are licensed in sequence only, as they complement the growth and balance of the Library as a whole. Each Module contains a mix of material spanning multiple countries and time periods to enhance its use in all curricula. No images are repeated.
