The digital mediates nearly every aspect of the work that we, as art historians, do today: from word processing, smartphone photography, and image file storage to museum and library database searches. More than merely a tool, the digital carries the potential to radically transform the means by which we perceive, document, preserve, organize, and present the objects and spaces that we study.
This roundtable brings together specialists from across the discipline to reflect on the possibilities—and risks—that the digital holds for the future of art history practice and pedagogy. It weighs, in particular, how computers and datafication have and may still come to bear on the care of museum and library collections.
