Dear ARLIS-L members
Some of you may be interested in a new resource that
has just been added to the Royal Academy of Arts, London Collections website.
The Royal Academy Winter loan Exhibition catalogues
from their inception in 1870 to 1913 have been digitised and are now available
online via the RA Collections section of the Royal Academy Website. www.racollection.org.uk
For the first 100 years of its existence, the
The catalogues for the early Winter exhibitions are

How it works:
Click on the Collections &
Browse
On the RA Collections page click on the Exhibition
Catalogue link to view thumbnail images of the title pages of each
catalogue. Click on a thumbnail image to display a large image of the
title-page. Use the Next & Previous buttons to browse through the
catalogue. You can also enter search terms in the Search within the catalogue box to search for artists, titles
and lenders within the catalogue. This will display a list of the pages on
which your search terms were found.
Below the catalogue pages you will also find thumbnail
images of some of the works that were exhibited in the exhibitions. Clicking on
a thumbnail image will take you to a page displaying a larger image and more
information about that work.
Searching
You can search across all the catalogues in two ways:
1: Enter a search term in the quick search box at the
top of the RA Collections homepage. This will search through all the exhibition
catalogues as well as the RA’s own collections of works of art, historic
books and archives.
2: Click on the Search
Exhibition Catalogues option on the RA Collections homepage.
From here you can search by exhibition title,
exhibition date, or carry out a free-text search of the entire contents of the
catalogues for the names of artists, lenders or titles of works.
This is very much seen as a pilot project, and
hopefully the beginning of programme to digitise and publish further Royal
Academy Winter Exhibition catalogues as well as the catalogues for the Summer
Exhibition from its inception in 1768. Any
We are extremely grateful to the Samuel H. Kress
Foundation for funding this project.
