All,
We've recently been looking into the coverage of FRANCIS and I should
note that it does include RAA content from 1984-1989. Please see the
CSA site for further details:

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Francis
As far as I can figure out, Francis does not include art history per se.
It does include Archaeology from 1984 to the present. I do not believe
RAA (RAA (Repertoire d'Art et d'Archeologie, 1973-1989) is included in
Francis.
We subscribe to Francis via CSA Illumina. I often take advantage of its
combined database search: BHA and Francis; BHA, Avery, Francis;
ArtBibliographiesModern and Francis; etc. Sometimes Francis, which is
primarily a social sciences database, turns up some interesting
peripheral
material on an art or art history topic.
Please pass on any information on whether or not RAA (and RILA)
citations
are included. Yes, I did send to the shredder our print RAA, RILA, and
BHA! Keep the faith!!!
