1131 days ago
Bibliography of the History of Art
Provided by the Getty Research Institute, the Bibliography of the History of Art indexes articles from over 1,200 journals and focuses on scholarly writing about the history of western art.
Journals Included in BHA (PDF, 308K)
It is important to note that the BHA includes all articles within the subject scope of BHA regardless of the subject focus of a particular journal, so many of the journals on this list are covered partially, as only some of their articles are within BHA's scope.
