This digital version of Ars Orientalis includes a new feature titled “Digital Initiatives,” which explores digital tools, research resources, publications, and learning opportunities in art history and related fields, with a special focus on topics relevant to AO readers. If you would like to propose a topic for future columns, please contact AO’s editor-in-chief, Nancy Micklewright (micklewrightn@si.edu).

The first column reviews four summer 2014 workshops in digital art history. Three were sponsored by the Getty Foundation and took place at Harvard University; University of California, Los Angeles; and George Mason University. The fourth was sponsored by the Kress Foundation and was held at Middlebury College. The four workshops aimed to increase the level of digital expertise and engagement among art historians working across a range of time periods, cultures, and media. Brief accounts of each workshop, written by participants, are presented here.
