How do I Use the Index to 19th Century American Art Periodicals?
The Index to 19th Century American Art Periodicals is the sole online index of 42 art journals published
in the U.S. during the 19th century. Please note that this index is a citation-based index; full-text
content of the articles is NOT available within the index.

To use the Index to 19th Century American Art Periodicals, visit the homepage of the Rutgers University
Libraries at
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu
Click on "Indexes and Databases."
Click "Arts and Humanities," then "Art" and then the database name.
At the next screen, click "Connect."
Or, use the "Title" list to scroll to "Index to 19th Century American Art Periodicals"

The search screen will appear. Make sure "Index19CamArtPer" is chosen in the "Search in Database"
dropdown menu. There are three primary ways to search in "Basic Search" - by Keyword, Author, or Title
Word.

Perhaps the simplest way to get started is to search by keyword.

In order to search by keyword, develop a few keyword and keyword combinations that describe your topic.

A list of records for your search will appear with title and author highlighted, followed by author,
source, and a link for locating more details.

or in print format.
- To send yourself citations from Art Full Text, place a check in the box to the left of the article list. Then, on the
top menu bar, click "Print, Email, Save". On the next screen there will be a tabbed bar with the options "Print, Email,
