Martin Wong Catalogue Raisonné

The Martin Wong Catalogue Raisonné (MWCR) is a direct access online project that documents the body of work produced by Martin Wong (1946–1999), an artist from the United States who came of age on the West Coast and whose best-known paintings are of life in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The results of this collaboration between the Martin Wong Foundation, Stanford Libraries, and Stanford’s Asian American Art Initiative are available without fees or user registration. https://doi.org/10.17613/15cv-n577

The Index of Medieval Art

Maintained and hosted by Princeton University, the Index is a comprehensive database of iconography from the Middle Ages that has been cataloged and indexed to allow users to browse and search images based on subject, location, medium, and other facets. While the Index’s original emphasis on the Western European canon of early Christian art is evident in the collection’s relative strength in that area, its scope now encompasses the entirety of the long Middle Ages, up to the mid-sixteenth century. https://doi.org/10.17613/5kp8-0d27
