Energizing the Study of Early American Art

In the Spring of 2005 the Museum Loan Network (MLN) formed a group of project advisors for EEAA. Through consultation with the MLN and ongoing communication with fellow advisors these individuals help define the scope of the initiative and shape the presentation of the early American portraits on the MLN Directory. The MLN is grateful to the following distinguished scholars for their participation in this project:
