The Visual Media Center explores material culture, vision, media, and pedagogy in the broadest sense to connect faculty research and student learning through the creative application of technology.

Our goal is to examine and extend the ways of interpreting images, objects, buildings, and sites and to reinforce Columbia’s historic strengths in core education for undergraduate students, graduate student training, and faculty research. Our specialized facilities and personnel serve the closely related fields of Archæology, Art History, and Historic Preservation. There are natural affinities with Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Teachers College, other Arts and Sciences departments, and the schools of Architecture, Engineering, Journalism, and International and Public Affairs.

We invite Columbia University faculty interested in digital visual resources to visit us and discuss ways to access digital images for their courses.
