The specialist information service Art - Photography - Design comprises text and image sources as well as scientifically relevant information across time and media from the Middle Ages to the present.

history

arthistoricum.net was operated from 2005 to 2010 by the DFG ( German Research Foundation ) as a joint project of the library of the Central Institute for Art History in Munich and the Heidelberg University Library in cooperation with the Institute for Art History of the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (LMU) and other partners . The portal has been online since spring 2006.

After the DFG funding expired, it was decided to move the previously separately presented offers from " ViFaArt - Virtual Specialized Library for Contemporary Art" and "arthistoricum.net - Virtual Specialized Art History Library" to a joint Virtual Specialized Art Library under the name arthistoricum.net on January 1, 2012 to unite. For the first time, a comprehensive research on the entire art-historical range of topics is possible: starting with the medieval and more recent art history of the countries of Europe and the art influenced by Europe in the USA, Canada and Australia, chronologically from the early Christian era to 1945 - united in the special art history collection. Then continued with the entire history of art from 1945 in the countries of Europe and North America as part of the special collection of contemporary art.

Since 2015, arthistoricum.net has been a specialist information service covering the subjects of art, photography and design.
