Abstract
Following a conference ‘Bibliographie d’histoire de l’art’, in Paris in 1969, considerable developments have occurred in the control of art-historical documentation. This paper surveys the not insignificant role which computers have played in this development, tracing the appearance of bibliographical art databases (serial bibliographies and abstracting and indexing services, library catalogues and networks, and individual computer-aided projects), and developments in the management and analysis of ‘museum’ objects and images. The greatest importance is attached to co-operation between the various activities outlined, and matters such as standardisation (of content and form) and compatibility of systems are discussed in depth. In conclusion, a series of goals are proposed.
