CALL FOR ARTICLES Commemorative 20th Anniversary 2002 VRA Bulletin Series The Visual Resources Association (VRA), the international organization of image media professionals, will be observing its twentieth anniversary in 2002. To commemorate its two decades of existence, the 2002 volume year of their quarterly journal, the Visual Resources Association Bulletin, will be devoted to a series of articles addressing the theme of "Documenting Visual Culture." It is intended that these articles will provide insight into how the "visual" has been documented in the past, how it is being documented in the present, or how it will be documented in the future. Some possible topics of exploration include, but are not limited, to the following: -What are we documenting and why? -How are historical collections being preserved and how is access to them changing? -How have different media influenced what is being documented? -What processes are being developed and implemented to standardize and share visual information? -How has non-art visual culture influenced art documentation and vice-versa? -What part has the visual resources community played in documenting visual culture? What part has the academic community? -How have documentary methods changed? -Can we document such concepts as the "other," the "gaze," the "canon," the "object"? -How do/will text and image intersect in the visual resources collection, the library, or the digital archive? -What is "visual culture" in the new millennium? -From Rosetta Stone to digital file: what will be around in the next thousand years?
