This guide will help you find recommended resources for general research in Art & the History of Art, with particular attention to subjects represented in our curriculum. Use the tabs on the left to find suggested resources and starting points for your research. See the additional Art & History of Art guides for more specific resources.
Make a research appointment to meet individually with a Research & Instruction librarian. You can request your specific subject librarian—they're also shown in the Subject Librarian box of most guides. You can also email them directly, or email us at library@amherst.edu for general questions or libcirc@amherst.edu for questions about your account.
Ask at the Reference Desk (via chat—click on the Mammoth!)
