The International Bibliography of Art (IBA) is the successor to the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA). IBA includes records created by the Getty Research Institute in 2008-09, with new records created by ProQuest using the same thesaurus and authority files.

Publications covered include at least 500 core journals, with an emphasis on specialist and rare titles that are not covered by other indexes, plus detailed coverage of monographs, essay collections, conference proceedings and exhibition catalogues. IBA aims for at least 60% of the content to be in languages other than English (primarily German, French, Italian and Spanish), with a proportion of this indexing provided by national art libraries and freelance indexers from around the world.

The bibliography provides authoritative coverage of international scholarship within the following broad parameters:

• European art since late antiquity
• American art since the colonial period
• Global art since 1945
• Fine art in all media
• Decorative arts and antiques
• Museum studies and conservation
• Archaeology and material culture
• Folk art
• Architectural history
