ACLS History E-Book Project Enhancements

The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the College Art Association (CAA)
are pleased to announce CAA's participation in the ACLS History E-Book Project (HEB).
Beginning with a carefully chosen selection of titles, including a new XML edition of
John Clarke's "Roman Black-and-White Figural Mosaics" to be released this fall, HEB and
CAA will explore many of the opportunities and challenges involved in bringing
art-history scholarship into the digital realm. College Art thus becomes the ninth ACLS
constituent society to join in the Project.

According to HEB project directors Eileen Gardiner and Ron Musto, "CAA's participation in
the Project comes at an important time in our planning for a broader Humanities E-Book
Project. We welcome them as an important collaborator and publisher of digital
scholarship."

According to CAA president Nicola Courtright, "CAA looks forward to this collaboration
with enthusiasm. CAA has been committed to digital publishing for some years through our
born-digital journal, caa.reviews (http://www.caareviews.org), and we believe that our
collaboration with the ACLS History E-Book Project will continue to realize important
goals for our members. The project will encourage a wider audience in the humanities to
encounter major scholarship in art history, an especially significant opportunity in this
era of increasing interdisciplinarity."
