Dear All:
Concerning up dates of ULAN, here is a message from Patricia Harpring, Managing Editor, Getty Vocabulary Program.
The ULAN On Line is updated every month. Regarding how it compares in comprehensiveness to LC Name Authorities: There are very few artists in LCNAF who are not in ULAN, and the ULAN has many artists who are not in LCNAF. When we add new artists to ULAN, we try to check LCNAF so that we can add any variant names that we might find there.
ULAN typically has more variant names and better biographical information than LCNAF. ULAN is a compiled resource that grows through contributions. Later this year we plan to put up an online contribution form, where qualified contributors with passwords can submit artists to ULAN. We also accept bulk contributions from selected institutions. If your institution is interested in becoming a contributor, please send your contact information and a description of the scope of your potential contribution to [log in to unmask]; we will add you to the list of potential contributors and contact you this Fall or Winter. Thanks!!
