Bibliography of the History of Art

"THE GETTY PROVIDES FREE ACCESS TO THE BHA ON ITS WEBSITE

As of April 1, 2010, the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA) will be available free of charge on the Getty Web Site. Free Web access to BHA is an advantage not only to all traditional users of the database but also to such potential users as institutions in developing countries and independent scholars worldwide, who until now have been unable to afford access to the BHA. Since ending its collaboration with the Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique (INIST)–CNRS in December 2007, the Getty has been searching for partners to continue the production and distribution of BHA. This process has been complicated, and with no suitable arrangement immediately available, the Getty decided to act on its commitment to the scholarly community by providing access to BHA directly from its own Web site.

“The Bibliography of the History of Art has been an indispensable resource for scholars and students for many years. We are delighted to announce that BHA will be available on the Getty Web site. We remain firmly committed to making the present BHA accessible to all,” says Thomas Gaehtgens, Director of the Getty Research Institute.

BHA on the Getty Web site offers both basic and advanced search modules, and can be searched easily by subject, artist, author, article or journal title, and other elements. To search BHA, please visit, http://library.getty.edu/bha. Note that the database search includes both BHA (covering 1990-2007) and the International Bibliography of Art (IBA), covering the years 2008 and part of 2009. The Répertoire de la litterature de l’art (RILA), one of the predecessors of BHA, with records that cover 1975-1989, will be online by May 1."
