Artstor is a digital library more than 1.5 million images in the areas of art, architecture, the humanities, and social sciences with a set of tools to view, present, and manage images for research and pedagogical purposes.
Artstor will be retired on August 1, 2024—all content, resources, and functionality is moving to JSTOR. For more information, see the Artstor migration guide and Artstor on JSTOR videos.
The ARTstor Digital Library is used by educators, scholars, and students at a variety of institutions including universities, colleges, museums, public libraries, and K-12 schools. The Digital Library serves users both within the arts and in disciplines outside of the arts. This includes historians of art and architecture and others engaged in the visual arts, as well as individuals in fields as diverse as American Studies, Anthropology, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Literary Studies, Medieval Studies, Music, Religious Studies, and Renaissance Studies, all of whom find the images in ARTstor to be relevant to their teaching and research.

Artstor is one of the few databases at FSU where you must create an account. This process is free, fast, and it gives you full access to all Artstor capabilities such as saving and downloading images. |
Summer 2022 update: Artstor is slowly migrating its image database into JSTOR and you can now also search for images in JSTOR in addition to their journal offerings. This recent webinar from JSTOR walks through this new feature, which will ultimately replace Artstor in the near future. |
