A slide library is a library that houses a collection of photographic slides, either as a part of a larger library or image archive, or standing alone within a larger organization, such as an academic department of a college or university, a museum, or a corporation. Typically, a "slide library" contains slides depicting artwork, architecture, or cultural objects, and is typically used for the study, teaching, and documentation of art history, architectural history, and visual culture. Other academic disciplines, such as biology and other sciences, also maintain image collections akin to slide libraries. Corporations may also have image libraries to maintain and document their publications and history. Increasingly, these types of libraries are known as "Visual Resources Collections," as they may be responsible for all "visual" materials for the study of a subject and include still and moving images in a variety of physical and virtual formats. They may contain:

Alan Gowans was an influential art historian and university academic, educated at the University of Toronto and Princeton University. A charismatic teacher and prolific author, his academic specialty was North American architecture, frequently highlighting such unheralded structures as gas stations, restaurants, motels, bungalows and mail-order homes, and exploring their social, cultural and national significance. His trilogy of books, The Unchanging Arts, The Restless Art, and Learning to See are indispensable works for aspiring artists and art historians, categorizing the arts into social functions to offer readers the most lucid history of art based on historical evidence. These works and his courses were incredibly influential, yet controversial for their time. Gowan's body of work was eventually drowned out by modernist and post-modern perspectives. Perhaps his most influential work was Images of American Living.
