About this Guide
The purpose of this guide is to help library patrons discover useful Art History resources related to theory and methodology. Many of these resources have been recommend by the professors of Art History at the University of Illinois. If you need help finding any other resources concerning these topics, please feel free to contact the Ricker Library.
Wondering why it looks different? We decided to update it to be more reflective of current approaches to art history theory and methodology. We have kept most of the same content, but expanded and reorganized specific sections. If you have any questions, or need help, let us know. If you really just want to use the old guide, we have it linked here.
