Chicago, IL—Seven premier cultural organizations in the city have joined forces to develop “The Civil War in Art: Teaching & Learning through Chicago Collections” (civilwarinart.org), a new web-based resource featuring nearly 130 works of art in their collections to connect students and teachers to the issues, events, and people of the era.

The Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art has announced the naming of the Terra Foundation Center for Digital Collections. This virtual repository holds a substantial cross-section of the Archives’ most significant holdings and can be found online at www.aaa.si.edu/collections/online.
