Overview
The art history collection is aimed at UNIL requirements. A table summarises the state of the collection development.
Our primary focus is on Western art, from the Early Christian era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on exhibition catalogues.
The Riponne site houses a history of art collection aimed at the general public.
The main documents on the history of art and recent works are available in the open shelvess at the Unithèque site. They are classified according to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC).
Older items are stored in the stacks and can be ordered from the Renouvaud catalogue.
Our databases and electronic bibliographies and encyclopaedias on the history of art are accessible from the relevant page.
All digital history of art journals can be accessed through the Renouvaud catalogue.
Members of the university community can access these resources from home by logging in to the UNIL secure network.
