Photography: Recommended Resources

A research guide for finding Photography resources in the BC3 Library and on the Internet, complied by the BC3 Librarians.

Suggested Databases for Photography Articles

Google Scholar Search

Google Scholar includes both books and articles. Be careful when selecting that the source is reputable. If an article is not made freely available online, remember that you can use the BC3 Library's Request an Article service to request it and we will do our best to obtain it and email it to you - free of charge.

Annenberg Learner Videos

Essential Lens: Analyzing Photographs Across the Curriculum is a multidisciplinary professional development course designed to inspire teachers of all subject areas to use photographs in their teaching. The course resources include five videos that introduce the ways photographic images impact our lives and what we know about the world and its history. On the course website, 11 curated photo collections with more than 250 rights-cleared photographs for classroom use include background information and detailed thematic classroom activity plans. Essential Lens provides everything a teacher needs to begin using photographs to engage students in deeper understanding and learning of a range of subjects from history to biology.
