A collection of more than 20,000 slides of African art has been assembled on a campus-wide network under the direction of Professor Suzanne Preston Blier of the Department of the History of Art and Architecture and of the Department of African and African American Studies. Used to provide both research and teaching support for faculty and students, the database collection is also designed to investigate the relationship of artistic production to larger cultural changes through the use of interactive maps.
