[h-cost] Tate's national photographic archive 'rescued from skip' after internal tipoff
This news about the Tate's archive is a relief, but the article also tells about the loss of the VA's archive: read it and weep. http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2012/feb/23/tate-national-photographic-archive-rescued?INTCMP=SRCH Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K.). ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

This is most certainly a sign that the photographic arts are being lost and assumed duplicated because, it is just a picture. There are so many works of art lost to us that sometimes these photographs is all we have left of them. I find it absolutely a mortal sin that of all places the VA destroyed their entire collection citing that they were simply duplications and nothing more. To lose the original owners photographs with notes of the history of an item is just heartbreaking especially if the item is gone. :( I really hope they actually digitized at the very least those notes.

It sounded from the article that just one guy was off his rocker... probably some cheesed off curator made at loosing the gallery space. --cin On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 8:22 AM, Marjorie Wilser the3t...@gmail.com wrote: And VA were stupid enough not to realize that they could have put them on eBay and made a small fortune! ;) ==Marjorie Wilser (feeling a little snippy today. . .) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
