Corpora
Like a catalogue raisonné, only for a single kind of object. One of the most famous corpora is that for medieval stain glass windows, Corpus vitrearum Medii Aevi.
The CVMA for Britain (only) is online. Access it at Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevii of Great Britain.
The rest of the set remains in printed version in either Lilly or Divinity School Library. An example is:
Corpus vitrearum Medii Aevi. France [serial]. Vol. 1 (1959)-v. (19 ).
Paris, Caisse nationale des monuments historiques, Centre national de la recherche scientifique, 1959-
Lilly Library: Locked Stacks NK5308.C6 F7
Permanent Holdings Catalogs (of museums)
Detailed catalogs of a period or genre of art in a particular museum. Like a catalogue raisonné, it will contain a collection of scholar's opinion on an object, conservation reports, provenance and literature (written about it). If you know of the location of a work of art, check for permanent holdings catalogs.
