The Scheding Index is designed for anyone seeking information on an Australian artist. The Index aims to list all books, monographs and major catalogues on Australian artists and on Australian art and to record information found within these, data not usually found in online library catalogues. Additionally, biographical references to Australian artists found in art dealer catalogues, auctioneer catalogues, art publishers’ publicity materials, and on art websites, have also been included in the Index. The Index currently comprises 150,000 records.

The Scheding Index is especially useful in providing sources of information on early Australian artists, particularly lesser-known ones and in providing lesser-known biographical references for well-known Australian artists. The Index is not yet as thorough in terms of recording information on Contemporary Australian artists, given the proliferation of publications devoted to them.

Try a simple search by entering an artist’s name (try surname or use Christian name/s as well) or an art subject (key words, book titles, and phrases such as 'Australian photography', ‘architecture’, ‘Modernism’, ‘goldfields’, etc, may be entered). However, if there are too many results, try Browse where artists’ surnames and art subjects are listed alphabetically.

For further information about The Scheding Index please see ‘About the Index’ on the About page.
