Abstract

In response, to initiatives from the Association of Art Historians and from ARLIS/UK & Eire, the British Library Working Party on the Provision of Materials for the Study of Art was established. Its Report (1983) proposed the setting-up of a permanent consultative body. This body, the Standing Committee on Art Documentation (SCOAD), was set up in 1985, to survey, and consider the co-ordination of, the provision of art library collections and services in the United Kingdom and in particular, by the British Library, the National Art Library, and other specialist libraries with notable contributions to make to a national service.
