The Editors of Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation,
like the rest of the civilized world, are deeply disturbed by the
destruction or loss of works of art and cultural heritage documentation in
Iraq and Afghanistan. We would like to devote a Special Issue of Visual
Resources to the subject of Mesopotamian and Afghan art and the consequences
of war, especially through visual documentation. Topics of interest include
(but are not limited to): documentation of Iraqi artifacts and architecture
in photographic inventories and databases - where are they? who maintains
them? how they are used?; media coverage of cultural heritage in the Middle
East, past and present - how today's technology affects what we hear and
know?; international conventions and their role in the protection of the
arts - agencies and their efforts to save or restore the 'cultural victims'
of war. Please submit by June 15th at the latest any proposals, articles,
or suggestions to the Editors: Helene Roberts, Visual Resources, Art History
Department, 6033 Carpenter Hall, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, 03755, USA
<[log in to unmask]>, or Christine Sundt, Architecture and Allied
Arts Library, Lawrence Hall, 5249 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403,
