Bibliographies, Indexes & Abstracts

Bibliographies, abstracts and indexes are good sources to find other works about George Cruikshank.  They often just include a citation and a brief summary of the work, but are worth searching if looking for further information.

 

Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA)

Available through UNC’s electronic indexes and databases at http://eresources.lib.unc.edu/eid/  Click on the “B” and scroll through the alphabetical list until you get to Bibliography of the History of Art.

This is “the most comprehensive art bibliography available worldwide, and extends coverage of its two predecessor indexes, RAA-Repertoire d’Art et d’Archeologie (1973-1989) and RILA- International Repertory of the Literature of Art (1975-1989).”  It indexes books, conference proceedings, dissertations, exhibition and theater catalogs, and articles from over 2,500 periodicals.  It is more comprehensive than the Art Index, another well-known electronic resource for art-related research.
