Basic Reference Sources

If the vocabulary of the history of art is new to you, a guide to types of research tools may be helpful, as will polyglot dictionaries and glossaries, which will be found on our Ready Reference shelves.


Critical Terms for Art History, 2003 ed.
(N34 .C75 2003)

Dictionnaire Polyglotte des Termes d'Art
(N33 .R42 1977)

Elsevier's Dictionary of Art History Terms
(N33 .E49 2005)

Multilingual Glossary for Art Librarians
(N34 .M85 1996)

See also the glossary in the appendix of Art Research Methods and Resources
(N85 .J64 1990)


In the online catalog, a subject search s=art-dictionaries--polyglot will retrieve a few.

For additional terminology, useful web sites like Art Lex or the Sloane Art Library's Terms to Know.


As experienced students of art history, you're already familiar with such periodical indexes and full-text electronic resources as

Art Full Text

Arts and Humanities Citation Index

ARTstor

Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals

Bibliography of the History of Art

CAMIO

Grove Dictionary of Art Online

Index of Christian Art

There are other valuable resources as well; some of which are available through the Libraries E-Indexes Pages, others available to all on the Internet (see the art information gateways listed on the Sloane Art Library home page.) Take time to explore these to expand your research capabilities.
