SAH Architecture Resources Archive: A Collaboration in Changing Scholarship

In March 2008 the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) received a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop the SAH Architecture Resources Archive (SAHARA), a dynamic online library of images of architecture and landscape for research and teaching. SAHARA will be a peer-reviewed resource, much like a learned society journal. As SAH members begin to contribute to the collection, and as architecture and visual resources librarians become involved in contributing to the collection and to the cataloging and editorial processes, a collaborative community will emerge, focused on creating a new model of scholarship in architectural history and new collaborative relationships and roles for librarians.
