What is The Athenaeum?
The Athenaeum is building a set of online tools for studying the humanities. Whether you
are an armchair historian, a teacher, or just someone with an interest in history,
archaeology, philosophy, or the arts, we hope to provide new ways to explore and interact
with all sorts of material. It is a never-ending quest, and we welcome your involvement.
Take a moment, browse the site, and let us know what you think!

Recent changes
Recently a couple of changes have been made here at The Athenaeum:
- I wrote a script that makes it easier to clean out the offensive entries from the Action Items page.
- I fixed the pages that allow users to add new artists.
There are still many little things to catch up on, but the site is pretty stable and clean at the moment.

Lots of little things
I continue to work on little things around the site. Some recent developments:
· Removed the old Amazon donation link and updated it to a PayPal link on our "How can I help?" page
· Updated the look of the forums a bit, and added a link back to our home page
· Updated the museum page to show how many artworks each museum has on our site. It's sortable, and you can link directly to the artworks from the museum list.
· I'm working on a set of tools that (hopefully by August) will allow us to run uploading contests and award CASH PRIZES for the most uploads. Stay tuned. :-)

In the last few days, Athenaeum member rocsdad has greatly beefed up our Goya collection. We now have over 80 artworks by the Spanish master. Check them out here.
Thanks, rocsdad!
