History

50 years of ARLIS UK & Ireland

In 1969 a group of committed art librarians founded the Art Libraries Society UK & Ireland. 50 years later ARLIS continues to advocate and innovate for arts libraries and their users.

Colleagues who have played an instrumental role in ARLIS here tell us about its history and consider its future.
