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.
