ArtHist.net

ArtHist.net is an international mailing list for art history which has published, since 2001, about 27,000 announcements concerning calls for papers, jobs, and fellowships as well as conferences, reviews, and digital resources, mostly in German and English, and also in French and Italian. For DVS, Daniel Burckhardt has prepared the data, and Noah Bubenhofer (UZH) has ingested them into a corpus-linguistics pipeline, and Gerold Schneider (UZH) has made first tests. The corpus is geographically biased, but could be counterbalanced by other digital resources from art history (library catalogues, conference programs etc.) and mailing lists from other related disciplines. Cf. Burckhardt 2017 and id./Scott 2017.

Wölfflin Edition
