Chartres: Cathedral of Notre-Dame

The Cathedral of Chartres, located some 50 miles outside of Paris, is considered one of the most important cultural landmarks in France, and even Europe. In 2004, Professor Alison Stones of the University of Pittsburgh began to create an online collection of visual materials documenting this imposing structure. Working with some of her students and colleagues, this project was supported by the University’s Digital Research Library and is now available to the web-browsing public. The breadth and depth of the collection’s 3100 items is impressive, as it includes everything from seventeen century vistas of the city of Chartres to architectural drawings of interior features of the cathedral, such as the nave. A search engine provided on the site allows visitors to search for items by name, description, type of material, or photographer.
