Our Image Collection Database Has A New Look!

If you've visited our Image Collections page in the past few months, you might have noticed that the search platform for archival images has a new look! Over the summer, the previous database, ArtStor, was retired and all content was migrated to JSTOR. All images that were previously available on ArtStor are still available, and the Medical Center Archives is available to assist with any questions you may have using the new platform.
