- The online catalogue raisonné of the paintings and pastels is organized chronologically. The catalogue currently lists works up until 1908, but will eventually include Degas' complete oeuvre up until his death in 1917. The site will also incorporate advanced search features, and as well as additional supplemental photographs.
The online catalogue significantly expands the earlier 4-volume catalogue raisonné by Paul-André Lemoisne (1946), with a supplemental 5th volume by Theodore Reff (1984) Degas et son oeuvre.
