Index to Art & Design in Ireland
Library staff at Belfast have been creating an index to their collection of press cuttings on Art and Design in Ireland since 1975. The index from 1975-1995 is manual but since 1996 an electronic version has been available. A web-based version of the index is being developed and can be viewed at:
