http://content.lib.washington.edu/jacob/index.html >. "…The goals of the visual archive are threefold: to provide wide spread accessibility to the full scope of the artist’s paintings, drawings, and murals; to provide scholars the resources for further study and interpretation of his work; and to provide educators the tools to use Lawrence’s imagery in the K-12 classroom. The final version of this 'imagebase' will be published in tandem with a 2-volume book sharing the same information but with scholarly essays and more in depth analysis of each work. Publishing electronically offers viewers an altogether different experience than publishing in a printed format: it is more accessible, it can be instantly updated, and allows for greater functionality, interactivity and cost efficiency…".
