As part of its mission to enhance worldwide access to
cultural heritage information in the networked environment,
the Getty Information Institute has made the Art and
Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) and the Union List of Artist
Names (ULAN) available on its website.
With the AAT web browser you can search all the terms in
the AAT, browse through the hierarchies, view detailed
information about terms, and, for the first time, search the
scope notes.
Surf to the ULAN browser and search for artists by name or
by biographical information, including artist's role (sculptor,
photographer, architect); place of birth, activity, or death; and
life dates.
AAT on the web:
http://www.gii.getty.edu/aat_browser
ULAN on the web:
http://www.gii.getty.edu/ulan_browser
Both sites include searching tips and information about the
scope and content of the vocabularies.
For more information, please contact Murtha Baca
([log in to unmask]) for ULAN or Michelle Kaufman
([log in to unmask]) for AAT.
