From the Iris:
The Getty Research Institute has just launched the Getty Research PortalTM,
an unprecedented resource that will provide broad, free access to
digitized texts in the field of art and architectural history.
The Getty Research Portal is a
free online search gateway that aggregates descriptive metadata of
digitized art history texts, with links to fully digitized copies that
are free to download. Art historians, curators, students, or anyone who
is culturally curious can unearth these valuable sources of research
without traveling from place to place to browse the stacks of the
world’s art libraries. There will be no restrictions to use the Getty
Research Portal; all you need is access to the Internet.
There are about 20,000 digitized art history texts already included
in the Portal, with more to come as more works are digitized and art
libraries around the world continue to join the effort.
The Research
Institute worked with a number of institutions to create the Getty
Research Portal—the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at
Columbia University, the Frick Art Reference Library, and the Thomas J.
Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as
members of the New York Art Resources Consortium; the Biblioteca de la
Universidad de Málaga in Málaga, Spain; the Institut national d’histoire
de l’art in Paris; and the Heidelberg University Library.
