Collaborating galleries include the Louvre in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the National Gallery in London.Over the last two and a half years, ARTISTE has developed an image search and retrieval system that integrates distributed, heterogeneous image collections.

Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts of the National Library of the Netherlands:

15000 images (miniatures) from 400 different medieval manuscripts from our collection and from the collection of the Museum Meermanno Westreenianum. We used high-resolution 35 mm slides as intermedium: Slides and scans ... As described above, the KB's efforts to provide information about its illuminated manuscripts date back to the videodisc project of the mid-eighties. The slides made for this disc and those that were made for the Special Collections Department's ongoing reproduction project, were the core of the slide collection to be scanned for this digitization project. The selection of views - opening, whole page, miniatures, details - still betrays this somewhat heterogeneous origin. That is why some pictures are included in the retrieval system in a single format, whereas others are shown as a miniature, but also as part of a whole page and as part of an opening. Needless to say, this 'handpicked' aspect complicated the design of the web interface. All slides are scanned at a resolution of circa 2000x3000 pixels and stored in TIFF (Tagged Images File Format) files in KB's Digital Deposit System. Three JPEG (Joint Photographic Expertise Group) images were taken from the TIFFs: a thumbnail of 125 pixels wide (single page or details) or high (openings), a 'pull-down' reference image of 300 pixels, and an image of 750 pixels for zooming in on details.
