The Courtauld Institute in London have just gone live with their latest digitisation of the British Picture cards from the Witt Library (thanks to Neil Jeffares for altering me to this). This first collection of photographs and clippings from old auction, exhibition and historic photos contains over half a million objects, which is staggering.

The opening of this resource is going to change picture research forever, I think. A seminal moment for both academia and the art market. I can't wait to see the discoveries start pouring in.

More national schools are on the way, it's time to get hunting!
