The Getty Research Institute is spearheading
this international collaboration with libraries that are digitizing art
history books, thereby making their resources accessible to a larger
audience. Initial contributors include the Avery Architectural &
Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, the Biblioteca de la
Universidad de Málaga, the Frick Art Reference Library, the Getty
Research Institute, the Heidelberg University Library, the Institut
national d'histoire de l'art, members of the New York Art Resources
Consortium, and the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. This collaborative project will continue to grow through
contributions.
The Getty Research Portal has the potential to
revolutionize how art historians conduct research by widening the
availability of rare books, early foundational literature, and important
periodicals from libraries across the world. It will especially benefit
students and scholars without access to a major art history library.
Libraries and other organizations interested in becoming contributors to the Portal may contact portal@getty.edu.
