[MCN-L] Repository of Collections Management related materials

[Sweeting III, Floyd]

The Clearinghouse Records were disbursed, a lot of it was ephemera. The
article I mentioned by Karen Parles in Spectra addresses what happened
and why. I checked with Deborah Kempe, the Frick Art Reference Library's
Chief of Collections Management and Access who said a few things may
have been cataloged and incorporated into the library collection but
that there is no way of designating what was in the original
Clearinghouse.

Floyd, did the Clearinghouse end-up somewhere after ceasing operation?

Floyd, did the Clearinghouse end-up somewhere after ceasing operation?

Clearinghouse on Art Documentation and Computerization

This documentation center and information service conceived and
implemented by Patricia J. Barnett was originally hosted at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Watson Library and later at the Frick Art
Reference Library no longer exists. It collected and disseminated
information related to art, museum, and library informatics. Most of the
information that was once in the database can now be found in Web sites.
An article by Karen Parles (Spectra, Summer 1996, 23(4), p33-35)
discusses the impact of the Internet on this service and how Web sites
were doing the work that was once done by the Clearinghouse.

Dear MCN,

I seem to recall that in the early 1990s a well-known art library 
began to collect information related to the history and practice of 
collections management and automation.

Does anyone on this list know of any such collection efforts? I would 
like to donate my accumulated materials rather than disposing of them.

I have four or five boxes of such data including (among other works)

Data Models
Technical Reports (such as David Bearman's)
Systems analyses and projects created for key museums
Plans for image projects
Advertisements and related ephemera
Documentation of conferences and symposia
Materials related to intellectual property issues.
...and much more.

For those on this list who may not know me, I worked in this field 
for approximately fifteen years, until about the year 2000.

If anyone thinks it useful, they are invited to consult my on-line 
CV, available <http://studiolo.org/cv.htm>HERE

Feel free to send this notice to other workers in this field.

Dear MCN,

I seem to recall that in the early 1990s a well-known art library 
began to collect information related to the history and practice of 
collections management and automation.

Does anyone on this list know of any such collection efforts? I would 
like to donate my accumulated materials rather than disposing of them.

I have four or five boxes of such data including (among other works)

Data Models
Technical Reports (such as David Bearman's)
Systems analyses and projects created for key museums
Plans for image projects
Advertisements and related ephemera
Documentation of conferences and symposia
Materials related to intellectual property issues.
...and much more.

For those on this list who may not know me, I worked in this field 
for approximately fifteen years, until about the year 2000.

If anyone thinks it useful, they are invited to consult my on-line 
CV, available HERE

Feel free to send this notice to other workers in this field.
