To All: When I sent out a request for the locations of scanned artwork, I got a pretty healty response. Several people asked me to pass anything I found out onto them, so I've appended the suggestions I got into one big message for all to see. I haven't had time to verify all of these locations yet because there are so many of them, so you can expect a little adventure in finding exactly what you want. Thank you all, and if any more recommendations come in I'll pass them on too. -John Atkeson Norfolk, Va. <First Message> From: [log in to unmask] (Erich W.

Here is what I was able to ferret out since my last post (approx. 30 sec. ago.) I'm pasting these into my mailer just as I found them. First, the Usenet .pictures groups. These are newsgroups full of uuencoded binaries: .gifs and .jpegs. They won't do you much good, but if you are seeking something in particular, maybe I can snarf it for you. alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.d: 1-164 alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.digitized: 1-181 alt.binaries.pictures.fine-art.graphics: 1-144 Now, the FTP sites that had the string "art" in directory names. You'll have to check these out yourself- usually the sites contain some sort of indexes.

The ftp is anonymous login (use your e-mail address for a password). We don't yet have any art images up there. You may be interested in some of our resource files, though. Some describe many arts related INternet resources. Go to the directory /pub/faculty.ed/resources. All the best, Don <Next Message> From: "Dallas Museum of Art - Kevin J.
