Royal Academy of Arts Collections Online: Historic Books, Archives,
Works of Art
We are delighted to announce the launch of the new version on the online
catalogue to the Royal Academy of Arts Permanent Collections:
www.racollection.org.uk <http://www.racollection.org.uk/>
The RA Collections website enables you to search and explore the RA's
collections of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, historic books,
archives, historic photographs and plaster casts. There are specific
search screens for searching the works of art, books or archive
collections, or if you select Search all the Collections you can search
across everything in the collection at once.
It is also possible to browse the collections via the Names A-Z and
Academicians links. Clicking on the Academicians link brings up an
alphabetical list of all past and present Royal Academicians. Clicking
on a name in the list brings up a Member's page containing biographical
information about the artist or architect, including any posts they held
within the RA, plus a list of all the works of art, historic books and
archival documents relating to them in the Collection.
The Names A-Z section lists the names of all the people and
organisations associated with objects, books and documents in the
Collections. Clicking on a name will take you to the page that displays
all the records in the Collection associated with that person or
institution.
As well as searching and browsing the Collection, you can explore
different themes within the Collections or find out what works from the
Collection are currently on display in the Royal Academy via the Topics
section.
I hope you have time to explore the catalogue. We are still developing
the interface and so would welcome any comments or suggestions you may
have about the site and how it might be improved.
Regards,
Adam.
