Scientific Advisory Board
The orientation and conception of arthistoricum.net are supported by a scientific advisory board. Together with the two operating libraries, this board establishes guidelines for the operation and further development of the Specialised Information Service Art, Photography, Design and ensures continuous quality assurance.
In addition, the academic advisory board decides on the acceptance of publications at arthistoricum.net – ART-Books, thereby contributing significantly to ensuring the academic quality of our programme.
With their research focuses, the members reflect the range of topics covered by the subject and by arthistoricum.net. The inaugural meeting took place on 17 June 2014 in Heidelberg.
