Society of Architectural Historians Architecture Resources Archive (SAHARA)

Funded by a grant from The Andrew W.

The aim of SAHARA is to become encyclopedic in scope, presenting images of our built world from every corner of the globe. Artstor serves as SAHARA’s technology partner, developing the software tools to enable the uploading, downloading, cataloging, and sharing of images in an online environment.
