HIT: Art slides

[Roberta Arguello <rarguello3@ANS.EDU.NI>]

I received many instant replies, thank you; unfortunately many replies
were about local museums which are not available here in Nicaragua, but
perhaps for many of you.=20

One of my "old" librarian friends tells me there is a technique for
using clear contact paper to "lift" color pictures off magazines for
transparencies. She said it must be printed on a clay-based/coated
paper, though, and not many of them are these days...

In that same vein (with appropriate permission) you might be able to
print directly on transparency paper from the Web on certain printers.

We had been considering replacing some of our art slides which had aged=20
so that the colors were no longer true.  Thus I have recent catalogs
from these 2 firms.  However, instead we've subscribed to the AMICO
electronic database available from H.W. Wilson.  It's an Internet
service of art slides and background material from museums.  You might
want to look into a trial.  It's not expensive at all and could be used
by your English, social studies, and art depts.

We have purchased those items from the Chicago Museum of Art. =20

Try the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston or another art museum. She/he may
even be able to borrow some.

I've seen them for sale at various art museums; e.g., the Houston Museum
of Fine Art, the Boston MFA, etc.

Try Sax at www.saxarts.com.  We have ordered art history materials from
them.

National Geographic has some beautiful transparency
kits -- the one on the Renaissance is fabulous!

There is a company called Slide Scribe that would be good.  I beleive
they have a website.  Their slides are beautiful and you can get
descriptions along with the slides. Debra Waters Librarian Long Island
