Abstract
This essay draws together the experiences of four practionitiers of digital art history in order to provide an introduction to the field rooted in practice. This choice is inflected by recognition of the multivalency of the concept of digital art history, explored briefly in this introduction. With this essay, we aim to make digital art history a more realizable proposition for readers, whether they are approaching it from the perspective of teaching or scholarship, and to advance the collective conversation that animates digital art history given its distinctively collaborative nature.
