Abstract

VRA (Visual Resources Association) and SAH (Society of Architectural Historians) became affiliate organizations in 2011 in order to foster a stronger collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship between the two organizations and their members. The benefits of the affiliation are outlined. Many VRA members manage and curate architecture image collections and work closely with architectural historians, architects, urban planners, landscape architects and preservationists. Both organizations see opportunities for combining their expertise and experience to build sustainable and authoritative digital image collections that support the discipline of architectural history and related fields. Over the past five years, SAH has led innovative and trailblazing initiatives in the digital humanities, JSAH Online, SAHARA (SAH Architectural Resource Archive) and SAH Archipedia.
