Anna Frasca-Rath Research Landscapes of Digital Art History in Austria Tere has been considerable change in the feld of Digital Humanities in Aus- tria in recent years with the establishment of the Austrian Centres for Digital Humanities (ACDH) at the Austrian Academy of Science (OeAW) in Vienna, the University of Vienna and the University of Graz. 1 Tis was accompanied by the appointment of the frst two professorships in Digital Humanities (DH) in Vienna and Graz in 2016. 2 Besides these institutional changes concerning the broader feld of DH, there has been a noticeable increase in digital art his- tory (DAH) projects. Various initiatives at universities, research institutes and museums have created a dynamic and growing community of art historians working with digital tools. Te Austrian Association of Art Historians (Verband österreichischer Kunsthistorikerinnen und Kunsthistoriker, VöKK) as well as the Austrian Museum Association (Museumsbund Österreich) have recently released special issues on digital art history in general 3 as well as on the mu- seum in the digital age. 4 Methodological questions and case studies have been discussed in a number of international conferences and panels. 5 Tis short essay aims to provide a basic outline of the dynamic research landscape of DAH in Austria. Since it will not be possible to paint a comprehensive panoramic view by naming and analysing all ongoing projects, I will focus on three examples, pointing out further projects that cannot be treated exhaustively within this essay wherever possible. When speaking about DAH in general, it has become common practice to diferentiate between ‘digital’ and ‘digitized’ art history. 6 In this context, ‘digi- tized’ art history refers to “the use of online repositories and images”, whereas 1 For the history of the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities-OeAW, see https://www. oeaw.ac.at/acdh/about/history/, accessed 18.01.2019. 2 Anna Frasca-Rath, “Magisch-hightech-experimentell-bluesky-research-artig.” Georg Vogeler (Graz) im Interview über die Digital Humanities und ihre Perspektiven.
