British Art Studies provides an innovative space for new peer-reviewed scholarship on all aspects of British art, architecture, and visual culture in their most diverse and international contexts. It is co-published by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, London, and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, and reflects their dynamic research cultures. One of the few completely open access journals in the field of art history, British Art Studies is also a forum for the growing debates about digital humanities, publication, and copyright.

Our Editorial in Issue 16 (June 2020) describes how we are changing our practices of commissioning and editing to help dismantle the racism present in British art history and its institutions.
