    Issue # 10 – Imagining the Future of Digital Archives and Collections

Stedelijk Studies is the academic online journal of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, published in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, Leiden University, Utrecht University, VU Amsterdam, Radboud University Nijmegen, and Maastricht University.

T he journal aims to reach an international audience of (young) academics, art professionals, artists, and others interested in the field of contemporary art theory. It is our goal to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed academic research focusing on the Stedelijk collection and its institutional history, museum studies (e.g. education and conservation practice), and current topics in the field of visual arts and design.

Besides two themed issues that will be published twice yearly, in the spring and fall, new articles will appear continuously throughout the year.

We invite researchers to submit their abstracts for Stedelijk Studies. The authors’ instructions can be found here.
