What is the relationship between ARTstor and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation?
ARTstor was started by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2001. ARTstor became a separately functioning, independent non-profit organization in January 2004. In supporting ARTstor, the Foundation has sought to help the institutions that it has traditionally supported – museums and institutions of higher learning – to utilize advances in information technology to further education and scholarship. The Mellon Foundation continues to support the development of ARTstor’s content, technical infrastructure, and software.
