The Visual Arts Data Service has been working behind the scenes in
collaboration with the Imperial War Museum Art Department to mount their
Art Collection on-line.
We are therefore delighted to announce that a demonstrator is now
available for public access at:
http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/av-index.html
While the demonstrator is not the final version, it gives a good
indication of the kind of functionality VADS will offer. The interface
allows for free searching of any record, or alternatively using the
power search, allows specific fields to be interrogated using operators
if required. As VADS' collections grow, new datasets will be added to
the search facilities to allow item level searching across the
collections we hold.
(Please bear in mind that we are still awaiting the final batch of
images from the museum, so some text records do not yet have an image
attached.)
Your comments are welcome.
Happy Easter
