Hi Lee

Thank you very much for letting us know about the launch of the new version of the extremely informative and well-researched Dictionary of Art Historians.

One minor irritation is that all the entries have new URLs. We have numerous links to the DoAH and have had to enter the new URLs.   I imagine that there will
be a lot of broken links on Wikipedia and other sites.    Nevertheless, hats off to all those who have worked on the 2nd edition of this great resource.

All the best

Chris

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Dictionary of Art Historians, 2nd ed, launched today

Colleagues:

 

The second edition of the internet tool Dictionary of Art Historians was officially rolled out today.  Many of you had a chance to examine the beta version in NYC at the ARLIS meeting or in Los Angeles at CAA.  The official press release, http://arthistorians.info/news, explains the tool and its history fully.  A multitude of art librarians and scholars advised on it and the redesign.  Please note the new url (no longer the “.org” one),  www.arthistorians.info.

 

I also want to underscore one of the biggest changes is that we’re formally accepting contributions from the art community.  If you know of staff, scholars, classes or even someone who’d you’d like to contribute, please use the ‘contribute’ link to begin the process.

 

Again, my thanks to this community for making this tool—which is very much ongoing—the success it has.

 

Best,

 

Lee
