Search the Albums
This searchable online database is in progress. It contains the contents of 160 re-housed albums originating from the William Randolph Hearst Archive. Each album includes an index of items from Hearst's art collection and a photograph, description, purchase price, sales agent and known provenance for each work listed. In some instances, shipping destinations and subsequent sales are documented in the albums as well.
Each album's index has been transcribed and uploaded into the database. Researchers can either browse the database according to album numbers or by Hearst's assigned categories which are used here as subject keywords. Full-text searching is also available.
