Primary Recommendations

  1. Organize a campaign to break down barriers to access and distribution of images, in all media and at affordable prices, for scholarly research and publication.

  2. Launch electronic extensions of the scholarly journals of record (Art Bulletin and Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians) to take advantage of innovations in digital research and publication, to issue extended versions of articles, and to publish electronic alternatives to the printed scholarly monograph.

  3. Form a consortium for the publication of art and architectural history online sponsored by the College Art Association and the Society of Architectural Historians, to leverage resources, seek appropriate partners with image expertise, bundle journals in a subscription package, and eventually host third-party journals in art history and visual culture.

  4. Develop the benefits of electronic publication for museum publications so that they may become even more productive sites of scholarly collaboration.
