Guidelines For Contributions

  1. Scope: The Portal aggregates records for published art history texts, rare books, and related literature. Texts must be in the public domain and interpreted as published before 1923 in the U.S. or before 1909 in other countries.


  2. Structure: Contributed records must be in the MARC, MODS, or Dublin Core format.


  3. Linked Texts: Records must include one or more fully-formed hyperlinks to a high-quality, fully digitized text, freely available (e.g. not password-protected or IP-dependent), and downloadable through the contributor's website. Ideally, a full-text search should be possible.


  4. Methods of delivery: Acceptable means of transmitting contributions include, but are not limited to, e-mail attachment, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvest.
