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.

==Description==

The '''Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance''' is a research infrastructure dedicated to the study of the reception of antiquity in the Renaissance. It began in 1946 and has developed ever since as an international collaboration supported by the Warburg Institute, New York University, the Getty, 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 database documenting ancient monuments (including sculpture, architecture, coins, and inscriptions) alongside the early modern visual and textual sources that record their rediscovery, interpretation, and transmission.

The database integrates tens of thousands of records and is continuously expanded, offering tools for exploring relationships between artworks, historical documents, and scholarly traditions. Recent developments focus on Linked Open Data and semantic interoperability, with the aim of connecting Census data to research resources in art history, archaeology, and the digital humanities.
