The International Bibliography of Art (IBA) is the definitive resource for scholarly literature on western art and is published exclusively by ProQuest. IBA is the successor to the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA) and includes the most recent index records that were created by the Getty Research Institute as part of BHA. These records were created in 2008–2009, and cover scholarship up to 2009, including retrospective records for material published in previous years. ProQuest will be building on this by adding 25,000 new records per year going forwards, ensuring unbroken coverage of indexed journals.

European art since late antiquity
