The Royal College of Art has launched two major new online resources that will be useful to educational professionals. The collections of digitised images will make significant works of art freely available for the first time. The Record of Student Work is a rare collection of over 30,000 slides of early student work by British artists such as David Hockney and Tracey Emin. In addition, over a thousand works from the Royal College of Art Collection have also been digitised.
The collections have been made available through a new digitisation project accessible through the Visual Arts Data Service (VADS). Neil Parkinson, Special Collections Manager, stated: “The College believes in making the images available as widely as possible on a non-commercial basis for the purposes of learning, teaching and research”. This resource has made archive student work available to the public. The JISC Legal report on this topic, 'Investigation into Student Work and IPR', can be accessed here.
