A few weeks ago I attended the CAA Annual Conference and THATCamp CAA and I wanted to share a few digital art history projects and technologies I found particularly impressive:

-Digital Mellini, a collaboration between the Getty Research Institute and the Department of Art History of the University of Málaga, Spain
-Scalar, "born-digital, open source, media-rich scholarly publishing that’s as easy as blogging."
-Viewshare, a "free platform for generating and customizing views (interactive maps, timelines, facets, tag clouds) that allow users to experience your digital collections."
-Omeka, "a free, flexible, and open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions."
-Spatial History Project, "a place for a collaborative community of scholars to engage in creative visual analysis to further research in the field of history."
-Mapping Gothic France, "with a database of images, texts, charts and historical maps, Mapping Gothic France invites you to explore the parallel stories of Gothic architecture and the formation of France in the 12th and 13th centuries, considered" according to time, space and narrative.
