About

Design & Art Australia Online (DAAO) is a collaborative e-Research tool built upon the foundations of the Dictionary of Australian Artists Online. DAAO is an open source scholarly e-Research tool that links biographical data about Australian artists, designers, craftspeople and curators with information about artworks, event histories and collection details.

Open access intellectual property rights is one of DAAO’s guiding principles. We are committed to sharing information and collaborative research. We welcome all researchers, be they academics, artists, family historians or non-affiliated researchers, to contribute to DAAO’s growing database.
