The '''''Dictionary of Art Historians''''' ('''DAH''') is an online encyclopedia of topics relating to art historians, art critics and their dictionaries. The mission of the project is to provide free, reliable, English-language information on published art historians.

The DAH was started in 1986 as a notecard project indexing art historians by the editors Lee R. Sorensen and Monique Daniels.<ref name=DAH>[http://arthistorians.info/about Mission statement and history of the DAH]</ref> In 2002, the project was migrated to the internet, and in 2010 it was adopted by the art history department of [[Organization:Duke University|Duke University]].<ref>[http://library.wlu.edu/details.php?resID=604 Entry for the DAH] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110101184129/http://library.wlu.edu/details.php?resID=604 |date=2011-01-01 }} on library website of Washington and Lee university</ref> In 2017, the DAH was adopted by the [http://www.dukewired.org/ Wired!
