Pitts Theology Library: Digital Image Archive

Pitts Theology Library: Digital Image Archive

The Digital Image Archive presents more than 31,651 images of biblical illustrations, portraits of religious leaders, printers' devices, engravings of church buildings, and other theological topics. [from the website]

Based at Emory University, the Pitts Theology Library has a number of digital archives that are worthy of mention. This particular one brings together over 28,000 images of biblical illustrations. The archive also includes engravings of church buildings and religious leaders. Visitors can search the archive by call number or Bible verse, which is a rather helpful way to look for items of interest. Visitors are also encouraged to use these images for use in church publications, research papers, and other educational settings. Also, visitors can use the "Revised Common Lectionary" area to identify commonly used items, like Gospel lessons and Hebrew Bible lessons. The site is rounded out by a "FAQ" area and a link to the Library's main Special Collection site. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2010. http://scout.wisc.edu/
