This ProQuest full-text journal database has been created to complement the CSA Illumina portfolio of Arts and Humanities databases. Subscribers to any of these databases – including ARTBibliographies Modern, Design and Applied Arts Index, British Humanities Index, MLA International Bibliography and Philosopher’s Index amongst others – can link directly from citations in these indexes to the corresponding full-text articles.

From its launch in April 2008, the database will grow to include significant new titles in the visual and applied arts. When complete, it will contain at least 500 titles, all of them indexed in one or more of the Arts and Humanities databases. Titles include both scholarly peer-reviewed journals and selected trade and consumer titles relevant to applied arts and cultural studies, and the subject strengths of the collection will be:
-- Art, design, crafts and photography
--Archaeology, anthropology and classical studies
--Architecture, interior design and urban planning
--History, philosophy, geography and religion
--Modern languages and literatures
--Music, theatre, film and cultural studies

The contents reflect the full interdisciplinarity of contemporary study in the arts and humanities, with the inclusion of selected titles from related fields that are also covered by these indexes, such as ethnic and area studies, politics, economics and women’s studies.
