Dictionary of Australian Artists Online - There is life after the 
exhibition catalogue
 
The Dictionary of Australian Artists Online (DAAO) is a new, free research 
tool dedicated to Australian art scholarship.  Museums and galleries are 
in a prime position to benefit as the DAAO builds a detailed map of 
Australia’s cultural landscape and the lives of its artists. Australia’s 
leading universities and galleries are already submitting artist 
biographies to the site.
 
The aim is to, in time, hold a comprehensive demography of all Australian 
artists. Your input will help us achieve this goal. 
 
The DAAO currently has over 7,000 artist biographies, and publishes new 
research every week from its member base of over 400 historians, 
academics, arts professionals and artists. 
 
What can it do for you?
You can use the DAAO as a home for your information and as a tool to 
discover new knowledge. 
 
Research: a ready research and reference tool.
DAAO is a great way for gallery curators, archivists and guides to 
discover information on artists, their works and associates in minutes 
rather than months.
 
Publishing service:
The DAAO offers an enduring and accessible home for your research.  The 
DAAO is capable of addition, revision and commentary and links to online 
image collections.
 
National and international exposure: by submitting your local knowledge it 
will become part of a national information base on Australian artists: 
past and present; Indigenous and non-indigenous; across all media.
 
How long does it take?
Submitting information to the DAAO is easy; authors submit their work in 
minutes.
