Points of View
"The open access to information and critical ideas are among the essential issues that Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide addresses...The fact that it is indexed by many of the most established indices, and archived by others, guarantees the wide dissemination of our essays and reviews by the broadest audience imaginable. As Reviews Editor, now in my seventh year, this has been one of the most intellectually rewarding experiences of my academic life."
| --Gabriel Weisberg Professor, Art History, Past President of Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art and currently Reviews Editor for AHNCA's on-line peer reviewed journal Nineteenth Century Art Worldwide |
