"ProQuest has long been the leader in providing historical and current content to the library and education markets," said David "Skip" Prichard, president of ProQuest Information and Learning.   "We are pleased to offer Getty Images' archival collection to enrich the depth and breadth of content available throughout ProQuest's portfolio of products.  This unrivalled collection of images supports our commitment to provide new dimensions of innovative research, education, and learning." 

Images have been carefully selected and incorporated into ProQuest databases to offer highly relevant content for public library, higher education, and K-12 users.  Images selected from Getty Images' Hulton Archive offer an unrivalled global collection of high-quality, well-preserved images that document the historical subjects, personalities and events from the last two centuries. 

This large-scale expansion of visual content enhances ProQuest's already strong classroom and research solutions. Images help researchers and students better understand concepts, and place context around events. For example, an image of the destruction of Hiroshima adds a human element to warfare, and shows the scale of atomic weapons better than text alone.  Visuals can be used in distance and onsite instruction to increase efficacy of lectures and heighten student interest.  Daily access to visual, multimedia content as well as textual information enhances support for students of diverse learning styles.

Images can now be accessed in ProQuest®, Chadwyck-Healey™, Voyager, Reading A-Z™, CultureGrams™, and E-Library® products, at no additional charge.
