The Getty Research Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles that draw on the Getty’s extensive archival, rare book, and artistic holdings or that bear upon the annual research themes of the Research Institute. Shorter texts present new acquisitions and tools of scholarship or note discoveries in the collections. The journal publishes the work of both established and emerging scholars and seeks to foster an environment of collaborative scholarship among art historians, museum curators, and conservators.
