The Media Center Image Database (MCID) hosts the Department of Art History's teaching collections, special collections, and original photography of globally significant art and architecture. Fieldwork highlights include Istanbul, Iraq, Rome, Chicago, The American Southwest, and Japan.

With over 110,000 new individual images added to MCID in the last couple years from digitization projects alone, MCID's reliance on collections as a primary organizational focus hinders findability of these important new resources. The Media Center has initiated an MCID restructuring project, designed to build connections across collections and increase findability of media of all types. This project is still in process and will be announced formally when available.

Before MCID, Mnemosyne was the Media Center's database for hosting all its image resources.
