The Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art – Canadian Art Database Project
http://www.ccca.ca/

The Canadian Art Database Project, housed in the Faculty of Fine Arts at York University in Toronto, is a work in progress. It is the prime web resource that focuses on contemporary Canadian art production and the recent history of Canadian art. For the past several years, The Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art has been assembling a growing collection of previously inaccessible or hard-to-find, information on Canadian art in all media [images, texts, media works, and related ephemera] from a variety of sources across Canada into a fully searchable, bilingual, database. The ongoing project is documenting some important Canadian art institutions and organizations that have helped shape the Canadian art scene since the 1960s, along with the careers of some of Canada’s leading professional artists, designers, art writers and curators. The Canadian Art Database Project currently holds: more than 54,000 images and 650 media clips by over 600 prominent Canadian visual, media and performance artists; more than 1,200 images by 40 leading Canadian graphic designers; more than 3,000 texts on art by 190 Canadian writers; a searchable Canadian Art Bibliography [currently holding 9,000+ references]; a searchable Canadian Art Chronology [currently holding 6,000+ references]; a developing series of Video Portraits profiling artists, graphic designers and art personalities; several related projects that complement the core archive. This will be added to Data Mining Resources Subject Tracer™. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
