Announcing a newly published |CD-ROM:
COURTAULD GALLERY - AN ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE:

The Courtauld Gallery gains its special character from two 
aspects of its history, firstly thatit supports the 
teaching programmes of the Courtauld Institute and the 
University of London, and secondly, that it is made up of a 
series of private collections, each of considerable 
significance in the history of collecting. This CD-ROM 
contains catalogue entries for the entire collection of 
works in oil in the Courtauld Gallery, over 500 items 
illustrated by 570 images, including details of component 
parts, recto and verso. As a result, a completely 
illustrated catalogue of the gallery's collection has been 
compiled for the first time including the provision of 
newly formalised inventory numbers. The structure of the 
Witt Computer Index, the database format that underlies the 
catalogue descriptions, allows the user of the CD-ROM to 
pose his own questions about the collection, whether by 
provenance, date, subject matter (via both keyword and 
ICONCLASS), previous attribution, exhibition history or 
artist. Both simple and advanced search routines are 
available and the images can be viewed in varying 
sequences.
