The National Gallery of Canada Library has just published the sixth in its series of Occasional Papers, the two-volume 'Index to Nineteenth-Century Canadian Catalogues of Art'. The Index is a unique reference tool that will assist with identifying, dating and establishing ownership of works of art, thereby facilitating research on the history of artistic production, art collecting and the art market in nineteenth-century Canada. It contains 43,629 entries for works by 4545 artists in 266 catalogues, dated 1823-1899, with a supplementary index of 1660 names of collectors. It includes all surviving catalogues of art exhibitions, auctions and permanent collections published in Canada during the nineteenth century. The Index has been edited by Jonathan Franklin, Head of Collections and Database Management at the National Gallery of Canada Library, and is available from the Gallery Bookstore
