Bibliography of the History of Art Update

Update, April 1, 2010: BHA is now available free of charge from the Getty’s own web site at http://library.getty.edu/bha.

The BHA is available only as a retrospective database with no new contributions for the time being.  The future of the BHA is being explored by the art historical and art library communities, to determine whether and how art bibliography can be tracked and documented in the future.

Please consult our list of indexes, full-text databases, and other electronic resources on our e-resources page.
