Great news from the National Gallery of Victoria that the entire back catalogue of the Art Journal of the National Gallery of Victoria (previously known as the Art Bulletin of Victoria) is now available online.

You can browse past issues via this website. The journal is the NGV’s annual scholarly publication and features in-depth, peer-reviewed essays by established art curators, conservators and academics, based on works in the NGV’s collection.

In 2011, Art Journal celebrated a milestone with 50 years of continuous publication.

The digital publication of the Art Journal of the National Gallery of Victoria is made possible due to the generous support of The Vizard Foundation.

A few small niggles with the set up. The search box only seems to appear on the right-hand side once you have selected a specific edition – but it does then search all editions. Also, the author list is arranged alphabetically by first name rather than surname (with a few exceptions), an odd choice.
