Visual Resources Center: Home

Welcome to the Visual Resources Center! This guide is designed to make your life easier by compiling image resources for your papers, presentations, and projects. Not only can you find images here, but you can also learn how to use them appropriately. Learn how to format images for presentations, properly cite information, determine if that image you just downloaded from Google is accurate, and protect yourself from copyright infringement. 

• Image digitization
• Support for digital humanities projects and technology
• Help with finding images, copyright, and citing

The Visual Resources Center welcomes image requests from faculty members to aid with research and teaching. If you need copywork, please fill out the form below. We will scan the materials and provide digital images in two weeks. 

Here are the steps for making a request.

1. Please fill out and print the online request form. 

2. Please email Zach Johnson (zach.h.johnson@vanderbilt.edu) with the request and to arrange pickup from your office.

3. After the requested material has been imaged and uploaded to JSTOR Forum, Connor will work with you to deliver the images.

4. Source items will be returned to requesters upon completion of the digital imaging and description process.

If you have any questions about these procedures, please do not hesitate to contact Zach Johnson.
