Repository of the Week - Getty Research Portal

The Getty Research Portal provides global access to digitised art history texts in the public domain. The catalogue is multilingual, and provides an open access platform from which to search and download digital copies of publications in the scholarly areas of art, architecture, material culture and other fields.

The Portal was developed by the Getty Research Institute in collaboration with a range of libraries, including contributions from the Metopolitan Museum of Art and the Heidelberg University Library.

The Portal widens access to rare resources, and is of benefit to those researchers without easy access to art history libraries and museums. Access the Getty Research Portal at: http://portal.getty.edu/portal/landing.
