# The AMICO Library(TM) In 1997 RLG began working with the Art Museum Image Consortium (AMICO) to make AMICO members' art images available online for educational use. RLG supported the 1998 testbed project that confirmed the demand for such images in teaching and research. RLG was the sole provider of The AMICO Library™ in its first three years of operation. In 2005 the Art Museum Image Consortium disbanded, and The AMICO Library was discontinued on July 1. RLG reinforced its commitment to the art and museum communities by forging direct relationships with most of the former AMICO museums—enabling us to continue to provide institutions with an equally high-quality fine arts resource: CAMIO. ## Articles [link to /en/page.php?Page_ID=17063#article1] "Exploring the Early History of Photography Using RLG's Eureka® and Digital Resources" RLG Focus 67 (April 2004) [link to /en/page.php?Page_ID=12661#article0"] "New and Improved Interface for The AMICO Library™ from RLG" RLG Focus 66 (February 2004) [link to /legacy/r-focus/i51.html#amico"] "The AMICO Library™ from RLG—New Content & Access" RLG Focus 51 (August 2001) [link to "/legacy/rlgnews/news46a.html"] "AMICO—Bringing Art Museum Images to the Classroom and Desktop" RLG News 46 (Spring 1998) |
