	Below are listed a few more that may be useful links. It is also worth checking whether your institution has subscribed to others – such as the Getty Collection – through JISC who offer subsidised rates. Those that require subscription have not been featured in this project but do offer marvellous material. The JISC Collections cover the whole range of resources, not just images. They can be viewed at the first link below: JISC Collections Wikipedia This is a good general resource anyway – not just for images UVic Humanities Computing and Media Centre Interesting collection of images specifically for teaching AHDS Visual Arts A catalogue of more collections with a description of what each offers
	Adult & Community Learning Educational Image Library Toolkit A new venture by the ACL sector where practitioners are starting to share their own images. The Prelinger Archives OK, so they’re movies but you can freeze frame them! BBC Art & Design No catalogue of sites is really complete without something from the BBC. They have a good range of leading galleries to view Chicago Historical Society Splendid images in sepia from the States Technical Advisory Service for Images More about the issues I may have skated over or avoided in this project.
