Acid Free is an biannual online publication by the Los Angeles Archivists Collective. Acid Free seeks to be a smart, complicated, non-academic forum for a variety of voices and issues in our field, to ground archivists locally and regionally while also keeping an eye toward larger conversations and landscapes.

The present catalogue publishes the holdings of French paintings from the 1600s to 1945. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is fortunate to possess celebrated examples of the work of Nicolas Poussin, Jean Siméon Chardin, Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Jean-François Millet, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin, as well as a host of additional works by other artists, perhaps less familiar, presented with fresh perspectives in their lively histories so well documented here.

JHNA is the open access electronic journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art. Founded in 2009, the journal publishes issues of peer-reviewed articles two times per year. These articles focus on art produced in the Netherlands (north and south) during the early modern period (c. 1400-c.1750), and in other countries and later periods as they relate to Netherlandish art. This includes studies of painting, sculpture, graphic arts, tapestry, architecture, and decoration, from the perspectives of art history, art conservation, technical studies, museum studies, historiography, and collecting history. Translations into English of significant articles published previously in other languages will appear from time to time as well. The journal also engages in other forms of presentation made possible by digital technology.  Book and exhibition reviews, however, are published in HNAR (Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews).

Malangatana: Mozambique Modern is a new digital publication by The Art Institute of Chicago. It shares and expands upon an exhibition of the same name dedicated to the work of pioneering artist Malangatana Ngwenya (1936–2011) with a focus on his oeuvre from the late 1950s until 1975, the year of Mozambique’s independence. This the Art Institute’s seventeenth digital publication, and their first produced without the OSCI Toolkit

Manuscripts of the Muslim World is a digitization project that feature more than 500 manuscripts and 827 paintings from the Islamicate world broadly construed. Together these holdings represent in great breadth the flourishing intellectual and cultural heritage of Muslim lands from 1000 to 1900, covering mathematics, astrology, history, law, literature, as well as the Qur'an and Hadith. The bulk of the collection consists of manuscripts in Arabic and Persian, along with examples of Coptic, Samaritan, Syriac, Turkish, and Berber. The primary partners are Columbia University, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania with significant contributions from Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College. This collection is funded by the Council on Library and Information Resources.

Monument Lab is a public art and history podcast. Each episode, host Paul Farber explores stories and critical conversations around the past, present, and future of monuments. Faber speaks with the artists, activists, and historians on the frontlines, building the next generation of public spaces through stories of social justice and contemporary art. Here are the monumental people, places, and ideas of our time.

Filmmakers Raymond Telles and Yvan Iturriaga (Latino Americans) showcase an in-depth, exclusive interview with Guerrero alongside his photography to explore his collaborations with three of the most iconic American artists of the 20th century: architect Frank Lloyd Wright and sculptors Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson. Using his outsider's eye to produce insightful portraits of important modernist architecture, Guerrero became one of the most sought-after photographers of the "Mad Men" era, yet his story is largely unknown.

Note: PBS is scheduled to stream this film in September. As a backup, reviewers with access to Kanopy (https://www.kanopy.com/) will be able to view it.
