Art + Design

This database collects newspaper, magazine, and scholarly journal articles related to all time periods of art, design, and architecture. A search in this also searches ARTbibliographies Modern, Design & Applied Arts Index, Arts & Humanities Database, and the International Bibliography of Art.

This is known as the go-to database of art history and covers all time periods. You can search through scholarly journals and magazines in all areas of art, architecture, and design published since 1984.

JSTOR is a great place for scholarly art research (it also includes other subjects). You can find articles from the 1800s to present and book chapters also show up in a search! If you don't absolutely need something that was published in the last 6 years, search as is. If you do want to find resources from the past 6 years, under "Select an access type" choose "All Content." If you only find a citation, use the other box on this page to see if we have access to the journal or book, otherwise see the Interlibrary loan tab.

This database covers lots of subjects, but it's great for searching art related scholarly journals. It automatically only searches "only content I have access to," so if you're not finding something try checking "all content" instead. You might have to interlibrary loan something but first use the other box on this page to double check we don't have access to it elsewhere.
