Resources for Review
We seek reviewers for the following resources. The snippets below are taken from each resource's web page and are not necessarily the opinions of the M&T Reviews Co-Editors

Index of Medieval Art

https://ima.princeton.edu/

For nearly a century, the Index of Medieval Art has provided researchers at Princeton and beyond with both visual images and scholarly expertise. Our print index and online database together make available approximately 350,000 images and data from the “Long Middle Ages,” from early apostolic times until the sixteenth century. Originally called the Index of Christian Art, reflecting its beginnings as a focused resource for the study of early Christian art, the Index now sets its parameters more broadly, including works from multiple medieval faith traditions as well as secular imagery. We are very pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2023, a paid subscription will no longer be required for access to the Index. This transition was made possible by a generous grant from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
