The Society of Architectural Historians <http://sah.org> is a scholarly 
society engaged in new digital publishing ventures. The Society's 
archive of visual content (SAHARA

launched one year ago. The goals of SAHARA are to change scholarly modes 
of analyzing architecture; to develop new online publication types that 
will help to make digital publishing equal to print publishing; and to 
create new kinds of editorial roles. Ann will discuss the development of 
SAHARA and the changes this digital publishing venture are aiming to make.
