AATA Online

Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts (AATA) is now available as
AATA Online: Abstracts of International Conservation Literature, a
free resource at <URL:http://aata.getty.edu>. Please visit this site
to search the 36 volumes of Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts
and its predecessor, IIC Abstracts, published between 1955 and the
present.

The AATA Online staff will be normalizing the data and making
enhancements to this site over the next several months. By year-end,
abstracts from the 20 AATA special supplements and almost 2,000
abstracts published between 1932 and 1955 by the Fogg Art Museum and
the Freer Gallery of Art will be included as well.  New abstracts
will be added quarterly, as AATA Online staff work with subject
editors and volunteer abstractors to expand the breadth, depth, and
currency of coverage.

Together with the BCIN database <URL:http://www.bcin.ca>, AATA
Online provides professionals with free access to thousands of
abstracts and bibliographic records related to the conservation and
management of the world's material cultural heritage.

Please note that AATA Online is currently optimized to run with
Internet Explorer for both the Mac and the PC.  While the database
does run with Netscape, functionality is limited. AATA Online
technical staff are working to resolve the limitations posed by the
Netscape browser.

AATA Online is a service of the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI)
in association with The International Institute for Conservation of
Historic and Artistic Works (IIC).
