Following closely in the digital footsteps of the University of California Press, the Getty Center in Los Angeles announced yesterday that they’ve made 250 of its art-related books, journals, and catalogues freely available online.
The titles, which represent a range of publishing output since 1966, can be searched by Imprint (Getty Conservation Institute, Getty Research Institute, or J. Paul Getty Museum), Publication Type, Subject Category, and Series.
Some of the notable items available online include:
