Visual Resources supported Art 525: Seminar on Chinese Calligraphy, taught by Professors Cheng-hua Wang and Hui-Wen Lu, by providing materials from previous calligraphy workshops. Students explored calligraphic techniques firsthand, experimenting with brushes and ink to develop a personal understanding of the art form.

JSTOR access troubleshooting

Digitized A&A Art Bulletin 1927-1945

It is very exciting to share that our colleagues at Mudd Library have, at the request of Visual Resources, digitized and made available the Bulletin of the Department of Art and Archaeology of Princeton University from the years 1927-1945. We encourage everyone to take a look at these digitized publications (make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to see the viewer) to learn more about the history of the department, its relationship with the museum, the curriculum at the time, and especially the plans for renovations of McCormick hall (with interesting photographs!). Thank you Mudd Library!
