Further to my colleagues post regarding the NAL’s
holding of sale catalogues we have an excellent collection onsite, as well as providing access to online auction resources in the NAL’s study rooms. We also have a study
guide for art auction sales, sales catalogues, price guides.
Our collection of priced sales catalogues do not yet have individual records on our catalogue, but do have a collection description record for each
auction house eg.
Christies Priced (found by a title browse search with the name of the auction house followed by ‘priced’)
Below is a screen shot of the NAL’s electronic resources, which you can access by clicking on the grey ‘e-resources’ tab at the top of the NAL catalogue
and then go to
‘view resources by subject/format’. We are a major centre for collecting art sales catalogues so I felt it was important to expand on previous answers.

Subject: Re: Enquiry about availability of decorative arts auction catalogues on open access in London
Do you have access to SCIPIO? Maybe you can check to see which London libraries contribute to that database?
I'm also wondering whether the researcher might not find what they need by searching an index to sales, then Worldcat to find which libraries lists holdings of the needed catalogs. Or is the issue that libraries are not listing their sales
catalog holdings in Worldcat or in other library catalogs? (Sorry if this is stating the obvious.)
The staff at the Met Museum library produced a handy listing of auction sales indexes and databases, available at: http://libmma.org/portal/online-tools-for-auction-research-guide/.
