Overview of our collections

Online databases

The CKD specializes in art historical databases. We have digitized some of our collections like the photographs of Hans Sibbelee. We specialize in research-databases for late medieval images, like Kunera and Stalla.

These images can be supplied digitally (high or low-resolution scan, on CD-ROM or via email) or analogue (Ektachrome, photographs).
