Highlights from the Digital Image Library: Modernism and the Black Metropolis
In the spring of 2008, Art History faculty Huey Copeland co-taught a class called Modernism and the Black Metropolis with a faculty member from the University of Chicago. Digital Collections worked with these faculty to digitize over a thousand images for the class that are now available in the Digital Image Library. These images are a rich addition to the collection and can be used by Northwestern students, faculty and staff for study and research.
To find these images, log into DIL using your NetID and password and perform the keyword search "copeland metropolis".
