The Department of Art History’s Visual Resources Center (VRC) provides imaging services, research and pedagogy support for faculty, instructors, students and instructors in the Arts and Humanities and other members of the UChicago community working with visual materials. 

The VRC maintains a robust digital collections program. The “Art History Department Image Collection” on LUNA contains more than 180,000 images developed in consultation with faculty and students to meet curricular and research needs. LUNA also hosts several collections of campus arts spaces and the archives of several Chicago artists and art institutions. To access LUNA, login with your CNetID and password.

The VRC is home to the Joel Snyder Materials Collection, which makes art historical objects, materials, and tools available for instructor and student engagement, and CWAC Exhibitions, which presents student-and course-curated exhibitions in the hallways of the Cochrane-Woods Art Center.
