Finding and Using Images 

Using images in the classroom can enhance and stimulate the learning experience.  In some disciplines, the visual component is as important as text based learning.  This guide can be used to help you get started in your search for images.

The Digital Images Collections Wiki is a resource of Free- and Fair-Use digital image collections that are available for anyone to use for personal or educational purposes. The main goals of the project are to provide an image gathering tool for the art history students and faculty of Wellesley College and to supplement the growing visual resources collection of that institution. The wiki was created by Hollin Elizabeth Pagos (MLS student, Simmons College) during a summer 2007 internship in the Visual Resources department of Wellesley College.
