Slide Library

Our collection supports the faculty and students of the department with over 85,000 slides. Included in the collection are slides of painting, architecture, sculpture, manuscripts, graphic arts, photography and minor(decorative) arts. Our slides cover Asian, Pre-history, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern. Also we have some unique sections such as documentary materials, local architecture, works from the Birmingham Museum of Art, and slides taken by faculty, staff and students of art and architecture from their extensive travels. Our faculty and students use over 15,000 slides each year. The staff produces about 1500 new slides each year and is currently working on a computerized database of our collection.
