SAH member meetups are virtual programs intended to help members connect with one another and explore a variety of topics. Meetups are free and open to current members. Past meetups have provided advice on publishing in JSAH, writing for SAH Archipedia, and crafting a strong session proposal. Other meetups have connected members who are emerging scholars, adjunct and contingent faculty, or employed outside of academia.
Have an idea for a Meetup you’d like to see or host? Email Anne Bird, Director of Membership at membership@sah.org.

This session will be recorded and shared with registrants.
SAHARA is a digital image archive developed by the Society of Architectural Historians in collaboration with JSTOR/ITHAKA. Funded by the Mellon Foundation, SAHARA contains more than 200,000 annotated images of architecture and landscapes contributed by SAH members. This unique digital asset can assist your in your research, teaching, and even document your own architectural work.
The platform recently migrated to a new hosted space in JSTOR, offering a new user experience. Join SAHARA Editors Jackie Spafford and Jeannine Keefer as they share a detailed tutorial on using the updated system, including searching, uploading images, and curating resources from the extensive architectural image repository.
If you have not logged in some time, now is a great time to learn about the new features and steps for submitting and publishing photographs. This session is especially useful to anyone who plans to apply for one or more of SAH's many 's awards
and fellowships, which often require applicants to contribute images to SAHARA.
A recording of the session will be available to all registrants after the event. If you cannot join us for the live event, please register to receive the video link.
