Searching for “Paul Revere” at CAMIO, I found he created
“The Bloody Massacre” print,“The Boston Massacre” print
and several silver items.
After entering “Sioux,” I found 63 items and was
surprised there were not more items listed for such a
broad search. On the left, I see one can search by
creator, date,and subject which make sense, but it is
interesting that a search can be done using “format.”
Since we have an original Harvey Dunn painting in our
library, I searched for his work,but was unable to find
anything.
I next typed in “Pablo Picasso” which yielded 994 works.
While perusing the works, I found there are other artists
included in the search such as Claude Monet and Georges
Braques. I can see where our art classes would be
interested in using this as well as our public patrons.
I put a few of Picasso’s paintings in favorites and after
viewing favorites, I see I could use these on a website.
Coincidentally, we are in the process of updating our
online library catalog to include various images.
Perhaps, CAMIO could be used for this.

Hi, MCRC! This is a fun resource to play around in and has many potential uses, as you mention. Others have commented, too, on the lack of SD artists in this resource. That's because the contributing institutes do not own art by our artists. :( Please read the rights on each image before putting them on your catalog pages, as they are quite specific about how the images may be used for free. We hope you and your patrons enjoy using this database. Thanks for your comments!
