The Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance is an interdisciplinary research infrastructure dedicated to the study of the reception of antiquity in the Renaissance. It was founded in 1946 and has since developed continuously as a collaboration of the Warburg Institute, New York University, the Getty Research Institute, the Bibliotheca Hertziana, and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Now based at the Institut für Kunst- und Bildgeschichte at the Humboldt-Universität, it provides an open-access research database documenting ancient monuments and the early modern visual and textual sources that record them.
