- Our current exhibit: The Vandercook Proof Press Celebrates Its 100th Birthday (1909-2009), is on display March 24-May 31, 2009.
- For splendid examples of 19th century ornithological illustration, see a recently-digitized book from UW-Madison collections: Illustrations of the family of Psittacidae, or parrots by Edward Lear. This is one of many full text books provided in the Digital Library for the Decorative Arts. Consult the list on our subject guide.
- The library subscribes to Design Abstracts Retrospective (the retrospective of Design and Applied Arts Index). This article citation database provides coverage of more than 100 design and design-related journals that are important to the development of design in the early 20th century. Articles range from 1903-1985, with some sources back to 1894. For recent articles, consult Design and Applied Arts Index.
- Approximately 6000 of our books are being digitized in the Google Book Project as a way to expand access to these important art-related historical materials.
