BHA (Bibliography of the History of Art) is a merger of RILA (International Repertory of the Literature of Art/ Repertoire de la litterature de l'art) and RAA (Directory of Art and Archaeology/Repertoire d'Art et d'Archeologie). BHA includes articles from over 1,200 journals. BHA includes all articles within the subject scope of BHA regardless of the subject focus of a particular journal. Thus, many of the journals on this list are covered partially, as only some of their articles are within BHA's scope. These citation databases, searchable together, cover material published between 1975 and 2007.
