Janis,

For a start searches for terms in the singular or plural notebook(s), sketchbook(s), journal(s), diaries or diary may be useful in big databases like WorldCat. Drawing and rendering are a bit wide but could be useful used with more specific keywords as in architectural rendering or sculpture and drawing.

Also, The Sketchbook Project may interest you.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] sources for artists' sketchbooks titles

Hello list,

does anyone have a good vendor or online catalog or anything else (including good searches that produce results in things like amazon and abebooks) that I can suggest to a faculty member who is interested in searching/browsing for facsimiles of artists' sketchbooks. She has been asked to provide recommendations to the acquisitions staff.

Thanks,

Janis
