A message from Murtha Baca:

Many of you may have read or heard about recent budget cuts at the Getty Trust. This is indeed a challenging time at the Getty, and at many other organizations. But we remain committed to fulfilling our core mission as an institution dedicated to research, collecting, preservation, and education.

I am happy to report that the Getty Vocabulary Program will continue, and will be more closely integrated with the cataloging and descriptive metadata units at the Getty Research Institute (GRI). We will also continue to enhance the multilingual aspect of our vocabularies through international partnerships with other cultural organizations. 

Now, more than ever, the collaborative model of building and growing our vocabularies is the key to their continued development and usefulness for the international art history and visual resources communities. We welcome data contributions from the many professionals who use the AAT, ULAN, and TGN on a regular basis. Your continued use and support of our vocabulary resources will enable us to continue to provide up-to-date, relevant tools for the international art-historical documentation community.
