Digital Collections

Artists’ Book Collection

This database is an illustrated, descriptive index to the Artists’ Book Collection, located in the Kohler Art Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Presently, the Artists’ Book Collection contains over 1000 titles. The database indexes the majority of them by providing in depth metadata useful in searching the collection and one to four images for each title to visually represent the structure and/or content of the book. With the goal to create a “visual finding aid” to the entire Artists’ Book Collection, the database is expanded and updated on a periodic basis as new titles are acquired.
