Please send any comments and or questions to: [email protected] Slides in Art & Architecture: Project Presentation, Histories, Sales and Reference. Authors: This listing is to gather slide users with similar
interest and problems to share resources, solutions and methods. e-mail to: [email protected] Over the last several decades, we've built a slide collection
of 50,000+ images. Architecture - National.
Architecture - Art & Culture Events from around the world:
A key part to the use and value of our collection is our method of indexing.
We recently joined the Visual Resource Association, where others with 1000s of slides, will share their methods, techniques, equipment and ideas about the use of images. Slide Resources, at bottom of this list, will expand as interest develops. From our own experience, most professors, teachers, professionals, Architects / Engineers, Doctors, and others, rely more and more heavily on images to communicate quickly and easily the complexities of their subjects. This is especially true for professionals whether they speak publicly in seminars, at project interviews or remotely via publishing articles and/ or exchange of information via the Internet or other media. Their subjects are more effectively and efficiently communicated with images. There are many forms of media for managing images: video, computer graphics/ CAD, diverse camera systems and film types. Central to our concerns is the propagation of ideas and examples at reasonable and effective costs. We have found slides to be the ideal media. They are quick and inexpensive to create, file and find. They are flexible to convert to any other media; for presentation, publication, scanning, and/ or printing. They are detailed in information, and inexpensive to manage, reproduce and/ or distribute. The key element of any image system is its access. Video is exciting on the screen for the right audience, but it is incredibly expensive in production and managing. Still photography is grand in presentation, but managing negatives and files is cumbersome and confusing. Although slides are the ideal medium for any type of use, the key point on getting the most value from slides is having and using an effective indexing resource. Many try to enter multiple verbal descriptions of images into a database, but in the end, they are labored to deal with many words and much effort to find and review images that might be useful. A visual file for slides is the best of all worlds, protecting the images, making vast quantities easily and quickly available and keeping the image collection alive and in use because it so speeds and eases the reuse of existing images. An effective and convenient file system will pay for itself many times over because it avoids confusion, which may require producing new images and/ or lost opportunities to use the images that you have. Our collection of 50,000 images is the source of our teaching & marketing efforts, and the backbone of our design and development techniques. Some Universities / Libraries make their collections visually available to faculty & students with the use of lighted slide storage systems. A locked Plexiglas door lets many review images, but only the librarian can actually access the collection. Websites for Slide Resources:
