About the Press

The Art History Institute (IHA) is a research unit based at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities - Universidade Nova de Lisboa (NOVA FCSH), integrates the Associate Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Heritage, Arts, Sustainability and Territory ( IN2PAST) and is a full member of The International Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art (RIHA).

IHA's work highlights the history of art in Portugal, while maintaining a commitment to an approach to the field in its global dimension, in the sense that it welcomes and promotes museum and heritage studies while still maintaining a strong relationship with other disciplines in the arts, humanities and social sciences, promoting an interdisciplinary debate and transdisciplinarity as research tools.

Seeking to reinforce the transfer of knowledge, IHA promotes a policy of systematic and diversified publication of books on art in Portugal, with free and open access, aimed at both academic and general audiences.
