Note: “See Chicago” (appearing throughout) refers to The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition. Authors should consult with their publisher/editor before making final stylistic decisions if the publisher is unknown at the time of writing, the author very often will be responsible for revising the manuscript later to accord with house style. Rather, we offer a guide to several generally accepted styles.

Nor is it likely, or expected, that all publishers (or editors) will abandon long-cherished systems, especially when those systems adequately serve their purposes. Rather, it aims to ensure uniformity of comprehension about the issues that authors and editors deal with.Īlthough it would have its practical purposes, a definitive, this-way-only manual would be inadequate to the profession, since art history is an aggregate of many different methodologies and fields of specialization. Uniformity of usage is not the purpose of this guide. Its purpose is to provide guidelines for authors and editors in the writing and redaction of manuscripts. The Style Guide is intended for authors of texts on art-any kind of text-and for editors of these texts and their publishers. The present revised edition was created in 2013 with a dual aim: to bring the Style Guide into alignment with The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition and to make it reflect changes that occurred in manuscript preparation, editing, and publishing after 2006-largely due to evolving technologies.

The first edition of the Association of Art Editors Style Guide was produced in 2006.
