How can I find out about topics in art history, terminology, techniques, periods, styles, etc.?
• Depending on the specific nature of your question, one of the many sites selected and vetted by library staff may lead you to useful information. For a list of these sites, go to: • Art-Related Links • General Links • Search the Timeline of Art History on the Museum’s website. • Refer to the following resources and/or ask a librarian for other suggestions: • Grove Dictionary of Art (1996) • McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Art • Oxford Companion to Art • Oxford Dictionary of the Decorative Arts • Praeger Encyclopedia of Art • Consult WATSONLINE, the online catalog of the Museum’s libraries, to identify citations for materials on the artist you are looking for. You can then look for these titles at a local library.
