The Bunting Visual Resources Library is a combined collection of over 360,000 digital images, color and black and white slides, and mounted photographs illustrating the history of art and architecture from prehistoric times to the present.

As a specialized library, we provide visual resources in support of the academic programs of the University's College of Fine Arts and School of Architecture and Planning. Named in honor of Dr. Bainbridge Bunting (1913-1981), professor of architectural history at the College of Fine Arts from 1948 until 1978, the facility has grown from a personal collection housed in his office, to an integrated, organized educational resource incorporating the latest in images and technology.

The collection reflects the academic programs it supports. Collection strengths are in the areas of:

 modern and contemporary art and architecture of Europe and the Americas
    the history of photography
    Native North American art and architecture
    Pre-Columbian art and architecture
   Spanish Colonial art and architecture
