This guide will help you get started finding resources related to the visual arts, including painting, photography, and architecture. There are also resources related to the history of art throughout various time periods and geographic regions.

Key Resources

Welcome to the Art Research Guide!

Use the links to the left to find books, articles, and other information about art. You'll also find information about citation and the STCC art gallery. All of the images scattered around the pages are open access images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The images link to the Met's website so that you can learn more about them! If you have any questions, use the "Ask a Librarian" box to contact a STCC librarian.
