A catalogue raisonnè is a comprehensive list of works created by an architect, firm, artist, or designer - or work created in a particular medium by an artist. Reproductions of the artworks are also included, along with the date, provenance, location and history of the artist and their work.

The Arts Library holds close to 3,000 catalogues raisonnès and several hundred more are located in other libraries on campus. To locate catalogues raisonnès in Yale libraries, search the library catalog (and search Worldcat for holdings in other libraries).  Try using the following advanced keyword searches:

• catalogue raisonnès and the architect's name (e.g. catalogue raisonnès and Alvar Aalto)
• werkverzeichnis and the architect's name (e.g., werkverzeichnis and Walter Gropius)
• complete paintings/drawings/prints or sculpture and the artist's or designer's name (complete paintings and Leonardo da Vinci)
• complete works and the architect's name (e.g., complete works and Zaha Hadid)
