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

Mon Jun 27 16:41:35 GMT 2016



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?"
