Art Index

Art Index, available through the Library's database list at http://www.strose.edu/Library/elecres/alphalist.htm,  is a bibliographic database which cites articles from more than 300 periodicals published throughout the world. Coverage includes periodicals, yearbooks, and museum bulletins. Reproductions of works of art appearing in periodicals are also indexed.

VERY IMPORTANT: The WWW version of Art Abstracts begins in 1984. Since many worthy scholarly articles on the history of photography were published before 1984, you will need to use the print volumes of Art Index, located in the Reference Room on the first floor of the Library.
