[ecrea] New special issue of Visual Studies 31(2) out: Visual Archives in the Digital Age

Special issue of Visual Studies 31(2) out: "Visual Archives in the 
Digital Age"

Guest editors: Marion G. Müller, John A. Bateman, and Ognyan Seizov

About the special issue:

"In assembling this collection on /“Visual Archives in the Digital 
Age”/, our objective was to provide the visual academic community, via 
one of its pivotal journals, with accounts of multifaceted approaches to 
solving the challenges that digitisation and technology-assisted 
visualisation pose for visual archives, visual archivists, and visual 
scholars alike. In our digital age, the very terminology becomes blurry: 
Are digital archives databases? How are the data processed and by whom? 
What is the difference between textual, audio, and visual materials in 
terms of their archive preservation and usage? What does the 
digitisation trend mean for applied archiving, for archive users, but 
also for archive keepers? What can we learn from current scholarship for 
the immediate future of visual archives in the digital age?"
