Architectures of the Book Image Database

The ArchBook Image Database provides an open-access, lightweight, and easy-to-use repository consisting of fully searchable, high quality images with detailed bibliographical descriptions. The database allows visitors access to images found in ArchBook entries, images relating to those entries, and additional images pertaining to other textual features yet to be covered by ArchBook. Researchers, students, and teachers are welcome to use these images provided they respect the usage and attribution policies of the source libraries (named in the image metadata).
