Finding images in the databases

Images in Artstor and JSTOR Images


Search Tips and Features

  • In both of these databases (linked above), you can carry out a keyword search, searching a topic or image you want to find
  • How you use the search tools highlighted in the images will impact the results you see, so searching in both fields (using the "Images" tab at the top, as well as the main search in the center") can be helpful.
  • Then, once you see results, use the limiters located on the left to narrow your results by date, creator, style, medium, collection, and more.
