edcat Cataloguing Scope

edcat wants to provide a comprehensive ressource for art publications by building a database independent from any institution.

The spectrum of objects edcat wants to catalog includes all publications related to art: artists’ books, editions, photobooks, exhibition catalogs and monographies as well as art theory, ephemera, magazines and art zines.

 

edcats general use of categories

edcat uses categories in order to specify the scope of the database and make publications easier to find. Items can be added to edcat that fits in one or more of the existing categories. On top of a limited set of categories, subforms can be freely attributed to any item. If you believe edcat is currently missing a category, please submit a request to add it.
