The A&AePortal developed by Yale University Press, with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, offers "an authoritative e-resource featuring important works of scholarship in the history of art, architecture, decorative arts, photography, and design" that includes out-of-print titles, backlisted and new releases, as well as a variety of museum and academic publications. 

Initially launched in late 2019, the portal has found additional usefulness and relevance during the quarantine period. Included in the archive are "Dozens of architecture and design publications," including publications featuring the work of architects that include Leonardo da Vinci, Andrea Palladio, Antoni Gaudi, Julia Morgan, and Thom Mayne, among others, according to Yale University Press.

Publishing partners for the initiative include the Art Institute of Chicago; Bard Graduate Center; Dallas Museum of Art; Harvard Art Museums; Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, Harvard University; MIT Press; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Paul Mellon Centre for British Art; Princeton University Press; Terra Foundation for American Art; Yale Center for British Art; and Yale University Art Gallery.

Full access to the portal is currently only available by institutional subscription, but non-subscribers can access certain types of content
and can make use of the site's search capabilities.
