JHNA is the electronic journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art. Access to the journal is a benefit of individual membership in the association. Founded in 2009, the journal publishes issues of peer-reviewed articles two times per year. These articles focus on art produced in the Netherlands (north and south), and in other countries as they relate to this art, from the Middle Ages through today. This includes studies of painting, sculpture, graphic arts, tapestry, architecture, and decoration, from the perspectives of art history, of art conservation, and of museum studies. Translations into English of significant articles published previously in other languages will appear from time to time as well. In the future, the journal will engage in other forms of presentation made possible by digital technology. These may include interactive images, short videos, community blogs, photo essays with commentary, as well as groups of articles commissioned by the editors. Book and exhibition reviews, however, will continue to be published in the HNA Newsletter.
All JHNA articles are evaluated in a double blind peer review process, which seeks to assure the anonymity of the author and the reviewers. Before an article or essay is accepted for publication, it is sent to at least two knowledgeable scholars for assessment. These evaluations help to guide the editors’ decision, and in most circumstances are shared with the author. JHNA seeks to ensure the highest critical and intellectual standards.
