File Description [top]

Bibliography of the History of Art® (BHA) abstracts and indexes current publications in the history of art. BHA is the successor to RILA (International Repertory of the Literature of Art) and RAA (Repertoire d'Art et d'Archeologie). The database is a joint effort of the Art History Information Program (AHIP) of the J. Paul Getty Trust and the Institut de l'Information Scientifique et Technique (INIST) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. The database corresponds to the print bibliography of the same name.

BHA records consist of bibliographic citations, abstracts, and indexing. Abstracts may be in English or French. The database is available with both English and French indexing.



Subject Coverage [top]

BHA covers the current literature of European art from late Antiquity (4th c. AD) to the present and American art from the European discoveries to the present. The database covers those publications from 1991 to the present.

  • Media - fine arts, decorative and applied arts: archaeology, architecture, decorative arts, folk art, industrial art, new media, painting, photography, prints, drawing, sculpture, theater and festivals.
  • Geography - Europe, the Americas, and art reflecting the Western tradition in Asia, Africa, and Australia.


Sources [top]

BHA cites a wide array of documents including books, periodical articles, reviews, conference proceedings, Festschriften, essays, exhibition catalogs, dissertations, and electronic publications.
