Help keep Materia open, independent, and accessible to all.

Materia is a nonprofit, volunteer-led platform dedicated to technical art history and the study of art through its materials and making. At the heart of Materia is our diamond open-access journal: free to read, free to publish in, and accessible to anyone, anywhere.

Your support helps us keep it that way.

Donations sustain the essential work behind Materia—from maintaining our digital platform and registering DOIs to preserving and improving the discoverability of the scholarship we publish. They also help us build new ways for our community to share knowledge through workshops, conversations, and educational programming.

Every contribution helps us provide a lasting, independent home for rigorous research while keeping that research freely available to conservators, scholars, students, artists, and curious readers around the world.

Support open scholarship. Support the exchange of knowledge. Support Materia.
