To request high-resolution images of a work of art in the Mead's collection, please email Miloslava (Mila) Hruba at mhruba@amherst.edu. Please include the object name and accession number in your request. We will share images we have available with you via Google drive or Amherst College FileSender. Please allow up to two weeks for processing these requests. If you would also like handouts or pedagogical materials, please email Emily Potter-Ndiaye at epotterndiaye@amherst.edu when you request the images.

You can also download low-res images directly from our database.
