ARTstor will add 1,000 images from the William Keighley Collection housed at
The Metroplitan Museum of Art. This important collection documents the
pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela traveled by medieval pilgrims,
with depictions of geographical terrain and exteriors/interiors of religious
buildings, including architectural details, applied arts, and works of art.
The Metropolitan Museum's Image Library houses the complete collection
created by William Keighley (1889-1984), which contains 74,000 35mm color
slides, divided into thematic sets. The "Pilgrimage Roads to Santiago de
Compostela" set is one of these thematic groupings photographed around 1960.
Prior to his death, Keighley donated his slide collection to The
Metropolitan Museum of Art to educate the public on the unique art and
architectural heritage of select areas of the world.
