The Visual Resources Center (VRC) partners with faculty on image-intensive teaching and research, ranging from media-rich final projects to immersive virtual reality experiences in the classroom. Examples of our projects include digital exhibitions, interactive timelines, image-rich maps, and 3D environments. The VRC offers collaborative spaces with large, wall-mounted monitors. We also offer imaging consultations and workstations with specialized scanners and equipment for digitizing print and film-based images or video. We curate collections of art and architecture images for teaching, both born-digital and historic formats. We are part of the Art Department; however, we are happy to collaborate with faculty from any discipline.
As a leading digital humanities software tool, Omeka enables the building of collections and the creation of digital exhibitions with advanced features such as mapping and image annotation.
