Edgerton - Self-portraits project: Databases

A collection of resources for students researching artists who work with portraiture and self-portraiture.

We suggest you start searching for images and information using the library databases listed below. These databases will provide creditable information about the artist and their work. 

  • ArtStor: Best used for finding images
  • Grove Dictionary of Art/ Oxford Art Online: Useful for both image and article searching
  • Credo: Best used for finding articles

Database Search Tips

  • Decide in advance if you are searching for images, articles, or both
  • Use the basic search for a general search
  • Use the advance search option if you want to be more specific
  • Try searching "self-portrait" if you are unsure what artist you want to focus on
  • Remember to access databases off campus, you'll have to use the remote access passwords
