The Archivision Digital Research Library
(currently 28,000 18 MB TIFF files)

The Archivision Library is only licensed in modules

The Archivision Digital Research Library is a unique and fast growing collection of high quality images – photographed by a professional photographer, architect and past VR 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.

The Archivision Library has options for every stage of digital collection development – and every budget. For those institutions that have already chosen cataloging and delivery systems software, the Archivision Library is easy to load with ample format and derivative image choices and rich metadata that is mappable to any standard. The Archivision Library has been successfully used in all the major delivery systems.

For those institutions that are still investigating digital collection software, the Archivision Library presents a unique and no-fail base from which to test one or even several solutions economically.

Five hours of free data assistance with Susan Jane Williams, Archivision Data Specialist, comes with every initial Library license. Susan can help you map our extensive metadata to your system's template. You may contract with Susan if additional help is needed.

1) LUNA
License the Archivision Library (to keep in perpetuity) and get instant access to it within the Luna interface via a remote server. For the cost of the annual server access fee, you can test-drive this delivery interface, complete with teaching functionality and access. Keep the hosted access option or bring the Library home at any time.

2) Via your ARTstor subscription
When you license the Archivision Library (to keep in perpetuity) it is your local content and you have the option to upload it into ARTstor, along with your other local material, so long as you have a subscription and a signed Hosting Service agreement with ARTstor. Rather than actually uploading our modules ARTstor has already loaded them for you...so you need do nothing on your end. You can cross search both Archivision and ARTstor content or narrow your search by adding the keyword term "archivision" to retrieve only our content. Please ask ARTstor for details at

Is your institution still working on a local metadata template implementation, but you need to offer digital content now? Try one of our pre-built collections:

The Archivision Library has anMDID collection ready to go, built using our Archivision collection template. This is the same template seen in our hosted solutions. Luna Imaging can also migrate this collection to your local server and build it there. We also have a pre-built EmbARK solution. Fees apply to all options.

Need a cataloging system as well?

Request the Archivision Library delivered within either VireoCat or EmbARK. VireoCat is a free cataloging utility written in FileMaker Pro that is VRA Core 4 and CCO compliant. It can output records in Core 4 XML. Get the Archivision Library cataloged within VireoCat and get a jumpstart on cataloging your own local content! For more see page 67-68 (FileMaker version 7+ is required to use VireoCat). The Library is also available in EmbARK Cataloguer (fees apply for EmbARK).
