I was just looking for reliable resources for doing master studies without the colors being completely off. Thank you for bringing this up!
Wow! What a treasure trove! Thanks for the heads up.
Really happy to see that they have a great archive, with many interesting images. But also that the open access format they used was IIIF (read triple-i-f).
That format allows others to use different readers if necessary, and even perform basic operations, with the possibility to share links with others, without having to edit images and share again (as well as metadata in some cases).
Don't let it stop you from coming to Chicago to see the work in person. I'm lucky enough to live there and keep a membership at the Art Institute so I can stop in any time I like and it's always a refreshing experience...reassuring that humans are capable of creating such wonderful things.
