Abstract

The Bibliothèque des Arts décoratifs, founded in 1864, has been available to students, researchers and professionals from the art world as a place of reference which does not charge ever since it moved to the rue de Rivoli in 1904. Its bibliographic database of 100,000 records can be consulted on-site or over the internet. But perhaps its most distinctive feature is the extensive Maciet iconographic collection, whose loose-leaf albums cover the walls of the reading room and contain over a million images classified by subject; this is currently being digitised.
