The purpose of ATSAH is to promote the study and publication of art-historical primary sources, and to facilitate communication among scholars working with art literature. Here are some of the things we do:

• Publish a newsletter twice a year to disseminate information about ongoing scholarship, publications, conferences, and computer programs for textual analysis.
• Organize conference sessions in conjunction with the College Art Association, the Society for Textual Scholarship, and other relevant meetings.
• Publish summaries and reviews of important publications and presentations concerning editions, sources, and art-historical literature.
• Arrange discounts on reprints and facsimile editions for members.

Eventually we hope to:

• Encourage the establishment of standards for editing and annotating art-historical primary sources.
• Encourage the development of a website connection to
• Organize occasional conferences on art literature.
