Objective. Digital collections of artistic direction are of great value to society from cultural, social and economic points of view. The article aims to study the existing digital art collections created by libraries of higher education institutions, to analyse the subject matter, structure, assess the scope, accessibility and usability. Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of a content analysis of 5 digital art collections launched by libraries of leading higher education institutions of Ukraine: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Ukrainian Catholic University, Scientific Library of Yurii Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts. Results. A content analysis of digital art collections of libraries of higher education institutions of Ukraine was conducted. Integration into the scientific and educational space of the studied collections occurs mainly through their use in the educational process and research practices, which allows us to state that the potential of the studied resources remains only partially realized. Conclusions. It was found that digital art collections are currently presented in a rather fragmentary manner within the framework of local digital projects of individual higher education institutions. The main problematic aspects of the technical, technological and organizational implementation of digital art collections were identified. Directions for their development were proposed.
