Cet article s’intéresse aux bibliothèques qui ne sont rattachées ni à un musée, ni à une université, et montre les convergences et divergences entre méthodes de recherche et conception des bibliothèques. La période qui va de 1900 à la Grande Guerre est particulièrement riche en querelles autour des principes d’organisation des bibliothèques, des systèmes de classement des ouvrages et de la catégorisation des textes sur l’art. À la même époque, Aby Warburg conçoit sa bibliothèque personnelle à partir du principe – très peu conventionnel – qu’il existe un lien étroit entre classement des ouvrages et acquisition du savoir. Au cours de ces décennies (et contrairement à ce qui se passera ensuite), l’histoire de l’art et les bibliothèques d’art sont à peu près soumises à une même dynamique d’invention de concepts. En conclusion, l’article s’interroge sur d’éventuelles corrélations entre les anciens modèles d’organisation du savoir et les technologies numériques actuelles.

Art – Research – Library: Shaping Maps of Knowledge
description Soon after art history was established as an academic discipline in its own right in the later nineteenth century, the first art libraries were founded to support both education and research. Focusing on libraries outside of a university or museum context, this paper shows how research methods and library concepts converged and diverged. The years after 1900 and prior to World War I, were particularly rich in terms of disputes over the principles of library organization, shelf ordering systems, and appropriate classification for art literature. Furthermore, Aby Warburg contemporaneously conceived his individual library concept based on the insight that ordering literature – in a highly unconventional manner – and gaining knowledge are closely interrelated. All in all, art history and art libraries were subjected to the same dynamics of conceptual development in these decades, in contrast to later times. The question of whether and how modern data technology correlates with the old models of ordering knowledge is briefly discussed at the end.
