The Michelle Smith Collaboratory for Visual Culture was
created by the Department of Art History and Archaeology,
inherently visual disciplines, to explore and support
visualization as a means of furthering scholarship and
teaching in today's dynamic
digital culture.
In addition to its focus on the visual, art
history is multi-
disciplinary in conception, combining history, religion,
philosophy, psychology, anthropology, economics,
politics,
literature, and sciences as integral elements in
understanding art and material objects created by human
beings. Art history is multi-cultural, as well, studying the
cultures of the world and the transmission of ideas among
peoples through trade and the sharing of visual objects.
Collaboratory projects incorporate the
multi-dimensional nature of its intellectual roots in the Art
History Department.
