Der Bildindex ist eine Verbunddatenbank, in der über 80 Kultur- und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen – Museen, Denkmalpflegeämter, Bibliotheken, Universitäts- und Forschungsinstitute – ihre Bild- und Datenbestände zur Kunst und Architektur gemeinsam im Internet publizieren. Diese internationale Forschungsinfrastruktur bietet einen integrierten digitalen Zugang zu seltenen Sammlungsbeständen. In der gemeinsamen Publikation öffnet man die Bestände für die Nutzung durch die Fachwissenschaften und die interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Der Bildindex dient – ähnlich den Bibliotheksverbünden – der wissenschaftlichen Grundversorgung. Der Zugang zu den Inhalten des Portals und die Teilnahme als datenliefernde Institution sind daher kostenfrei.
