> Rock Art Studies: A Bibliographic Database is a compilation in progress 
> which was begun in March, 1993. Currently the database contains over 16,000 
> citations to the world's rock art literature, with an emphasis on English 
> language and North American citations. Over 7160 of these citations are 
> held in the compiler's personal library. These and many others were 
> reviewed for annotation. The database is available on the Internet, as a 
> project of the Bay Area Rock Art Research Association Archive, Bancroft 
> Library, University of California, Berkeley 
> (http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/rockart.html).

> A few comments regarding the background and objectives of the Compiler, and 
> the assembly of the raw data for inclusion in the database are in order. 
> Leigh Marymor, is a Plumbing Contractor from Berkeley, California who holds 
> a bachelor's degree in Community Education from the University of Wisconsin 
> - Milwaukee. He has been interested in rock art conservation and the 
> literature of rock art studies for over thirty years. He is the immediate 
> Past President of the American Rock Art Research Association (2004-2006). 
> He is a co-founder of the Bay Area Rock Art Research Association and has 
> been its Co-chairperson since its inception in 1983. Leigh Marymor received 
> the American Rock Art Research Association's Castleton Award for research 
> excellence in 2002 in recognition of the significance of the compilation of 
> Rock Art Studies: A Bibliographic Database.

> The Rock Art Studies database was initially conceived as a tool useful in 
> cataloging the rock art literature held in the Compiler's personal library, 
> which currently consists of approximately 80 shelf feet of books, 
> periodicals, grey literature, ephemera and research notes. As the project 
> grew, additional citations were included from over seventy additional 
> sources, including: bibliographies, research archives, library catalogues, 
> on-line search services and other private holdings (these sources are 
> notated in the "library" field of the database, and are detailed in the 
> text document, Key to Sources for Citations).
>
> The scope of the data included in the database has been limited by the time 
> and energy available to the Compiler, as well as, by his subjective 
> approach to keyword notations (found in the Keywords field). The past 
> emphasis in the database on English language literature has steadily given 
> way to the growing inclusion of the French, Spanish, Italian and Portugese 
> literature.
