Open Access Resources for the At-Home Art Librarian

In the midst of worldwide quarantines and stay-at-home orders, several scholarly journals, publishers, and databases have made the decision to go “open” (or at least market their existing open resources). My colleague at the Peabody Essex Museum, Print Librarian Catherine Robertson, decided that this would be a great time to compile a list of open access publishers and journals that would be helpful for researchers now working from home. The following list is assembled from our initial bibliography of resources, but revamped with the art librarian in mind. Please enjoy browsing these free, open access publishers and journals!
