Hi All,

I’m wondering if anyone on this list has canceled ARTstor despite
having invested in the expensive one time archive capital fee years
ago?

Our usage is showing a steady decline, the annual access fee is pricey
(along the lines of a traditional database subscription), and more
open access image collections seem to be available such as the
recently announced Metropolitan Museum of Art initiative:

I’m curious about people's thoughts on this.

Thanks.
