Abstract

The Getty Art History Information Program has joined with MUSE Educational Media in a project bringing together seven universities and seven art museums for the purpose of making digital images of works of art available for study and teaching via campus networks. Beyond the immediate benefits to its participants, the project is designed to develop methods and guidelines for the academic use of digitized museum-owned materials at colleges and universities. Columbia University and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts are two of the participants in the project, which is remarkable for the level of collaboration which it is achieving between museums and universities.
