Session: Museum Applications: Websites as Content Collectors
The National Graphic Design Image Database at Cooper Union is an on-line
system under development at the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design
and Typography in the School of Art. The Image Database is designed
to electronically preserve and disseminate material related to the history
of visual communication in the twentieth century. The software, CUImage,
enables students, designers and artists to study and contribute to image
files from web sites worldwide. Funded by the National Endowment for
the Arts (NEA), the project aims to build a virtual visual encyclopedia
through an electronic community of students and educators. |
