Might want to crawl the Microsoft clip art search to speed up discovery.
- Search by category: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/CM079001901.aspx (last two numbers are incremental)
- Clicking "View More Details" (example) on an item POSTs metadata from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/_vti_bin/anonsvc/ClipAjax.svc/GetExtendedClipData
- Examine the Javascript to figure out how to grab metadata for each file.

How can I help?
Running a Warrior
You can start up a Warrior and there select Microsoft Clip Art. (If you don't really care what you are archiving, select ArchiveTeam's Choice instead, as at some points ArchiveTeam may prioritize another project.)
Running the script manually
If you use Linux and you're a bit familiar with it, you can try running the script directly.
The instructions can be found at github.com/ArchiveTeam/microsoft-clip-art-grab.

Donating to the Internet Archive
Content downloaded by the ArchiveTeam will be uploaded to the Internet Archive, where it will be stored and be available – hopefully – forever. However, storing it costs thousands of dollars in the long run. So, if you can afford, please consider donating to the Internet Archive, so that this piece of history can be kept for us all. http://archive.org/donate
