Wesleyan University Library’s Visual Resource Center recently published a digital exhibition titled “Art History in the Analog Age.” This exhibition, which was researched and curated by Fiona LaCamera ’27, chronicles developments in technology used in art historical pedagogy as illustrated in materials from the Seymour-Paoletti Photograph Collection and other materials from the Visual Resources Collection. This digital exhibition is the result of Fiona’s three semesters of work digitizing and cataloging photographs of Italian Renaissance sculpture and architecture from the Seymour-Paoletti Photograph Collection as a Visual Resource Collection student assistant. It was built with ArcGIS StoryMaps, a digital storytelling platform that members of the Wesleyan community have access to. An accompanying physical exhibition is in the works and will be displayed in the library in the future.
