Bibliographies for the Study of Medieval Art
|
| |
Introduction
The following bibliographies were compiled as part of a workshop at an Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) conference in 2004 which was held in New York Public Library. These four librarians undertook extensive research on four particular periods in the Middle Ages and intended to provide both the expert and novice with an overview of the principal hardcopy and electronic resources. They all differ slightly in their approach but I hope that you will agree with me that they offer a very valuable tool for research. The files will be constantly updated and I am grateful to the four contributors and to ARLIS for allowing the Index of Christian Art to host their research.
