Hi Sara,

On digitizing catalogues, you might be interested in two write-ups by the
Met's Rob Weisberg about their project, posted at the Beyond the Printed
Page blog:

http://digitalpublishingbliki.com/2012/10/21/one-not-so-small-step-for-a-print-publisher/

http://digitalpublishingbliki.com/2013/01/08/now-that-youve-launched/

And in addition to the Met, LACMA and the others already mentioned, the
Guggenheim has made quite a few of their books available as well, so be
sure to check those out.

Best,
Greg
