Islamic Art and Architecture
in
Africa, Asia, and Europe
The Institute
began a project in 2005 to create a comprehensive database of digital visual
resources for teaching Islamic cultural history.
The following collections of images have been created specifically for
educational purposes, both in the classroom and for advanced research.
Comprehensive treatment of the buildings and artifacts provides the necessary
visual components for teaching applications from broad survey lecture courses to
more focused, in depth seminars and independent graduate research.
These images are only available for educational purposes, and
only to accredited institutions, faculty and students, and only for on campus,
non-commercial use.
On this page you
will find an itemized listing of the results of photographic expeditions conducted in 2006
in Morocco and Tunisia, 2007 in Turkey, in
2008 in Egypt, and in 2010 in Libya and Algeria.
On the page titled "Islam in
Asia 2008," reached by clicking on the Islam in Asia 2008
button at the top of this page, you will find a listing of the sites visited
during the fall
2008 expedition through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan in Central
Asia, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and
Israel in the Middle and Near East.
Examples of the images from
all of these
sets may be seen at the page titled Islamic Gallery,
reached by clicking on the button
at the top of this page.
Earlier field work during the 1990s produced an extensive
documentation of Islamic art and architecture in Spain, now also available in
digital format. Examples of these may be seen here:
Islamic and Mudejar Art and Architecture in Spain
In 2009 Arab Norman Art and Architecture of
Sicily was added to the collection. Use the link to Norman Sicily on the
left of this page to see the itemization and examples of these images.
Complete
metadata in excel spreadsheets is available with all of these image sets. The
spreadsheet catalogues are available upon request to those with further
interest. Perpetual Site license agreements for educational institutions are available.
