OpenBibArt

The OpenBibArt website functions as a collaborative digital repository co-developed by the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (INHA), the Getty Research Institute (GRI), and the Inist-CNRS. The database covers a century of Western art history research, cataloging journal articles, books, exhibition catalogs, and auction catalogs published globally between 1910 and 2007. Core features of the platform include a multilingual interface supporting simple searches, advanced boolean searching, and a specialized thematic thesaurus search tool to isolate granular historical data. Tailored for art historians, academic researchers, librarians, and students, the portal provides high practical value by centralizing formerly fragmented historical reference indexes into a unified, open ledger for scholarly discovery.
