Originally created in 1957 as the database behind Trésor de la Langue Française, a French-language dictionary, this database drew from a broad range of written French, from novels and poetry to biology and mathematics. Useful not only for lexicographers but also for many other types of humanists and social scientists engaged in French studies, the database was expanded in 1981 by a cooperative project of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the University of Chicago. This joint project is called American and French Research on the Treasury of the French Language (ARTFL). The database consists of nearly 2000 texts written between the 13th and 20th centuries, ranging from classic works of French literature to various kinds of non-fiction prose and technical writing. ARTFL also includes a Provençal database. Genres include novels, verse, theater, journalism, essays, correspondence, and treatises. Standard scholarly editions were used in converting the text into machine-readable form. http://resources.library.georgetown.edu/libdata/rslink.phtml?subject_id=69&resource_id=117&infotype_id=29&masterinfotype_id=3 A comprehensive index of journal articles published worldwide from 1934 to the present on architectural design and history but coverage as well of real estate development, commercial buildings, city planning, urban design, environmental studies, historic preservation, landscape architecture, garden history, interior design, furniture and decorative arts, and archeology.
