Abstract

In 2017, the Index of Medieval Art launched a new custom database to better serve 21st-century researchers of medieval iconography. This workshop, led by Index specialists Maria Alessia Rossi and Jessica Savage, demonstrates how to use advanced search options, filters, and browse tools, in addition to the new subject classification network to locate iconographic subjects in the Index. This workshop will show participants not just what types of art historical data can be found in the database, but how to locate and interpret the Index's records to learn more about the Middle Ages. Participants are encouraged to bring research questions to the workshop.
