Aries is the first professional academic journal specifically devoted to a long-neglected but now rapidly developing new domain of research in the humanities, usually referred to as "Western Esotericism". This field covers a variety of "alternative" currents in western religious history, including the so-called "hermetic philosophy" and related currents in the early modern period; alchemy, paracelsianism and rosicrucianism; christian kabbalah and its later developments; theosophical and illuminist currents; and various occultist and related developments during the 19th and 20th centuries, up to and including popular contemporary currents such as the New Age movement. Aries is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles and book reviews in English, French, German and Italian.
Arms & Armour, formerly the Royal Armouries Yearbook is a peer-reviewed academic journal which aims to encourage and publish research in the field from scholars, both professional and amateur, around the world. Its areas of study, which are multi-disciplinary in approach and content, include, but are not limited to, the history, development, use, decoration and display of arms and armour throughout history. The journal also includes reviews of recently published books, and announcements and accounts of seminars, conferences and events.

Arms & Armour is edited under the auspices of the Royal Armouries, the UK's national museum of arms and armour, alongside an international Editorial Board comprising many of the leading experts in the field.
Ars & Humanitas is a journal for art and the humanities. It strives to encourage the integration of disciplines within the social sciences and humanities, to embolden dialogue between different theoretical orientations, to invite original approaches to reflecting on topics, to draw attention to current perspectives on interferences and resulting amplifications, and to promote the study of the humanities both within academic circles and among the general public.
Founded in 1978, Art History, the peer-reviewed journal of the Association of Art Historians, provides an international forum for original research to all aspects of the historical and theoretical study of painting, sculpture, architecture, design and other areas of visual culture. The journal is committed to the publication of innovative work which extends understanding of the visual within a well-developed interdisciplinary framework and raises significant issues of interest with those working both within the history of art and in related fields.
Welcome to Art Journal’s new website. Launched to coincide with CAA’s centennial anniversary, the site both acknowledges current material conditions of art and publishing, and honors the journal’s unique nature. It will feature iterations of time-based work discussed in the print journal and original artists’ projects, as well as more conversational modes of scholarship and discourse. Rather than attempting to be another rapidly changing aggregator of information, the site will make visible and maintain the dense artistic and scholarly content of Art Journal in print, hopefully serving a need in the international arts community.
