Aims & Scope

Source was founded in 1981 as a scholarly journal in art history.

Its mission is to publish articles of 2,500 words or less, accompanied by a maximum of three illustrations.

The range of articles spans antiquity to the present and includes western and non-western art.

The original premise has been borne out: there is an audience for scholarly articles in art history that are clearly written, adequately illustrated and above all, succinct.

Furthermore, scholars welcome having a forum to present ideas and speculations that don’t warrant a major treatise, but might nevertheless make interesting “notes” for specialists and non-specialists alike.
