1There are few institutions wholly devoted to art history in Brazil, although many initiatives, such as web communities and study groups, are increasingly taking the matter in different ways. Of course this selection, made mostly according to the online resources provided related to the subject, including art museums and connected activities, does not exhaust the wide range of approaches adopted by the electronic resources available. This selection is not intended as the very best or even the most consistent one. Arranged by topic and in chronological order of institutional creation, it is only a partial reference to the growing art-historical discipline in Brazil.

According to the BN website, its holdings of nineteenth-century photographs from Brazil, Africa, Europe, and North America are the best in the country and “portray the reality of the period and reflect the personality of the emperor and his interests.” A distinctive example is the “Collecção de 44 Vistas Photographicas da Estrada de Ferro D. Pedro 2,” with views from the 1880s taken around the Railway D. Pedro II (
