An open working meeting of the Getty Research Portal Advisory Group. The Getty Research Portal (portal.getty.edu) is a free online search platform which provides global access to digitized art history texts by aggregating metadata from contributing institutions. The Portal, a collaborative initiative of the Getty Research Institute founded in 2012 with a number of international art libraries, is a multilingual and multicultural union catalog that affords researchers the ability to search and download complete digital copies of publications devoted to art, architecture, material culture, and related fields. With a growing number of participating institutions (24 at present), the Portal now provides access to more than 105,000 digitized titles. The Advisory Group convenes representatives from participating institutions periodically to consult on the Portal and any parties interested in becoming potential contributors are encouraged to join. Observers are also welcome.
