Research Projects at the Getty Research Institute support the development of new art historical scholarship, and are often based on the special collections of the Research Library. Covering multiple fields and methodologies, these projects aim to connect Research Institute staff with visiting scholars, and to disseminate results to an international scholarly audience. Research Project organizers welcome conversations with scholars working in related areas.
