Artstor and JSTOR Digital Collections
We are constantly expanding the Library’s digital collections. If you have an idea for a digital collection, please contact us.
Since the Artstor website will be retired on August 1, 2024, we will be providing access to our digital collections through JSTOR. Digital collections currently on the Artstor website will remain accessible until the website is retired. Further information about Artstor and this transition can be found on our Artstor Guides page.
The following digital collections can be accessed via JSTOR from on campus or by entering your library login:
CalArts Visual Resource Collection
