Digital Images 
A growing collection of digital images is available in the University Libraries' Digital Media Repository (DMR). The Architecture Images Collection includes high quality digital images purchased from vendors, gifts from faculty and students, and digital copies of many of the Visual Resources Collection's 119,000 35mm slides. Slides from the collection are being digitized and added to the DMR on an ongoing basis.

The Hermansen Slide Collection contains 119,000 slides of images relating to architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and, to a lesser extent, art. The entire slide collection has been cataloged. Records for individual slides and slide sets are included in the Ball State University Libraries CardCat.

• Indiana Collection: a collection of more than 10,000 slides which document both historic and contemporary architecture in Indiana. To a lesser extent, examples of landscape architecture and planning in Indiana are also included. Also included is a comprehensive selection of Indiana courthouse slides. All Indiana counties are represented.
• Weisse Slide Collection of Spatial Developments in Man's Physical and Social Environment: a collection of more than 1,000 slides produced by Rolf D. Weisse in 1968 for use in lectures related to urban design, city planning, regional planning and environmental planning.
