Why Write to Us
This archive exists at the intersection of fieldwork, scholarship, and preservation. It has grown through conversations with painters, temple administrators, art historians, and students — and it continues to grow through correspondence.
The archive grows through such exchanges and encounters. Every correction, collaboration, and conversation makes the record more complete.
Whether you are a researcher, educator, conservator, practising artist, or someone who simply noticed something we got wrong — you are welcome to write. The three most common reasons people contact us are listed below, along with guidance on what to include.
What to Write About
Including the relevant details from the outset helps us respond more quickly and usefully.
Scholarly Queries & Metadata Corrections
For questions about iconographic identifications, site histories, dating, or attribution — or if you have noticed an error in an existing entry and would like to flag it.
Please include: The site name or entry you are referring to, the specific detail in question, and any source or evidence supporting your correction.
Requesting Images for Publication
High-resolution images from the archive are available for non-commercial research and educational use with attribution. For publication in books, journals, or exhibitions, please write in advance.
Please include: The specific image(s) required, the publication or project context, the intended use, and the proposed attribution format.
Fieldwork & Research Collaboration
The archive is actively expanding. If you work on undocumented sites, have access to site histories or artist lineages, or are interested in joint fieldwork, virtual tour development, or IKS integration, we would like to hear from you.
Please include: A brief description of the site or project, your institutional affiliation if any, and what kind of collaboration you have in mind.
Write to Us
All correspondence is handled directly by the curator. We read every message carefully and respond to each one.
Typically within 5–7 working days
