About
the Project and Presenters
The History of the Accademia di San Luca, c. 1590–1635: Documents from the Archivio di Stato di Roma makes available
archival documents and other research materials concerning one of the first artists’ academies in Europe. These resources document the breadth of the Accademia’s activities, drawing from the proceedings of meetings, financial and legal transactions, property
rentals, and other records. New documents and research materials are added to the site periodically, all cross-referenced to people connected with the academy’s institutional and professional concerns and the places where they interacted.
First launched in 2010, the site was initially created using Extensible Markup Language (XML) within the parameters
of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). Since 2014 the site is driven by the National Gallery of Art's content management and site design platform to ensure its long-term sustainability and extensibility. High resolution images are managed through the Java
Script Object Notation (JSON) file format, compatible with Application Programming Interface (API) viewing applications using the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), specifically Mirador and IIPMooViewer. The site is built on Hyper Text
Markup Language (HTML) with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript Framework (jQuery).

history and posed critical questions about the provenance and conservation of fragmented books and manuscripts. He recently published an article in the Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies on digital tools for annotating and visualizing quire structure as part
of a special issue titled “Connecting the Dots: New Research Paradigms for Iberian Manuscripts as Material Objects.” Matt serves as a data steward and researcher for digital projects at the Center.
