Two strong characteristics make it excel at contributing meaningfully to the growing conversation surrounding art history practice, tools, and method in the digital era. First, it is an anthology, and anthologies are highly recommended research gold mines because of the many voices and perspectives they can explore.

This brilliant combination of diverse voices and diverse situations make this outstanding for the researcher and art historian seeking to learn more about professional practice and more in the digital era.
