University Libraries publishes 'Art History Dissertations' online bibliography

Penn State University Libraries’ Open Publishing recently launched “Art History Dissertations and Abstracts from North American Institutions Bibliography,” an online bibliography compiled by Catherine D. Adams, digital support specialist, and Carolyn J. Lucarelli, manager of the Center for Virtual/Material Studies in the College of Arts and Architecture. The original data set is from the CAA Reviews website of the College Art Association (CAA). The bibliography represents more than a year of collecting, collating, amending and researching art history Ph.D. dissertations submitted to CAA since 1980. With more than 6,000 dissertations from more than 80 North American institutions, the data set presents a rich area of study for the ways in which the art history field has evolved over the last 40 years.
