The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture (ANVC) and Scalar were created with the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Substantial advisory support was provided by Richard Lucier and Abby Smith Rumsey of the Scholarly Communications Institute. Further support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities.  A special thanks to all the intrepid souls who have collaborated with us to date and shaped the development of ANVC and Scalar.
