Description
The Archaeological Institute of America’s Publication Subvention Program supports new book-length publications in Classical Archaeology, defined as Greek, Roman, and Etruscan archaeology and art history. Launched in 2005, it draws on the von Bothmer Publication Fund to help scholars and nonprofit presses produce books of high scholarly and intellectual merit that cannot be expected to generate adequate financial returns.
The program particularly welcomes first-time authors and final reports presenting primary data from sites already excavated or surveyed but still unpublished. It also prioritizes enhanced visual content that would be impossible without a subsidy, including color plates and expanded black-and-white illustrations. Supported work includes ancient art and architecture studies, artifact catalogs, and excavation and survey reports. The Publication Subvention Committee administers the program and selects recipients.
