PINACOTECA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO – BIBLIOTECA WALTER WEY
GUIDE FOR THEMATIC SEARCHES
The Walter Wey Library uses a controlled vocabulary specialized in fine arts for the
indexing of its archive. The vocabulary allows the researcher to search and recover
information more easily and precisely.
You have the option to make your search directly in the basis of the Controlled
Vocabulary. In this case only the terms adopted and their respective terms returned
by the search are presented. The terms that have hyperlinks make the connection
between the records available in the reference databases.
Databases
The library’s databases contain information on books, catalogs, dissertations, theses
and articles about artists and art in general.
In the search option present on the first page, enter the words to be searched for, on an
open basis (this option searches through all of the indexed fields).
To limit the search to the author, subject or title index, click on the “Search filter”
option.
Periodicals Section
The library has a vast collection of periodicals, collected for more than 50 years. The
collection is organized in files separated by artist or by subject. This is material
published in the most renowned Brazilian and foreign periodicals (newspapers,
magazines, newsletters, bulletins, and others).
