CHArt
CHArt was established in 1985 by art and design historians who happened also to be computer enthusiasts. Initially a forum for the exchange of ideas between people who were using computers in their research, the largely academic membership was soon augmented by members from museums and art galleries, as well as individuals involved in the management of visual and textual archives and libraries relevant to the subject. More recently CHArt has also encompassed art practice. CHArt is a society open to all who have an interest in the application of technology to the study and practice of art and design.
CHArt holds an annual conference and publishes the conference proceedings online. It also runs an email discussion list and an online newsletter and now also publishes a Yearbook. The first volume, Digital Art History, was published in 2005. CHArt also sponsors the World Wide Web Virtual Library for the History of Art.
