Call for Articles for Society of Architectural Historians Online

Thanks to generous funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, beginning in March 2010, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (JSAH) will be published simultaneously on paper and in a new online edition.

While the text content will be the same in the two editions, the online version will be much more than the static PDF that is now available through JSTOR. In collaboration with the University of California Press, SAH is creating a new platform for displaying JSAH Online that will support, zoomable images, video, GIS map integration, Adobe Flash VR, 3-D models, and online reference linking.

Articles that are submitted now to JSAH will appear in 2010 or later. Therefore, all new article submissions will be able to take advantage of these new capacities. Prospective authors are invited to think creatively about how you can incorporate these rich media into JSAH articles. Please contact JSAH Editor David Brownlee to discuss how your work can make the most of this unprecedented opportunity to support your scholarly argument with a dynamic, digital illustration program.
