Dear Colleagues, Friends, and fellow Simeon Solomon-philes,

I'm pleased to announce that the Simeon Solomon Research Archive (SSRA) has
been updated and revised.  ARLIS/NA members will recall that the site won the
first ARLIS/NA Worldwide Books Electronic Publication Award a few years ago.
The updating of the site is a timely event, as the site has now been in
existence for five years, AND this year marks the 100th anniversary of Solomon's
death.  In commemoration, opening very soon in Birmingham, England will be the
much anticipated retrospective exhibition of Solomon's work with a published
catalog.

Perhaps one of the most exciting developments in the history of the SSRA is
that it now has a new home with its own URL at http://www.simeonsolomon.org.
(Credit and my gratitude go to Julia Kerr of http://www.artmagick.com fame for
this.)  Please make a note of the new URL, as the old site will be coming down
in the weeks to come.

This latest update includes the following:
** 34 NEW citations, including works published during Simeon's lifetime and
new critical sources published over the past three years
** 20 NEW full-text HTML documents, including early reviews of Simeon's
exhibited works at the Royal Academy and Dudley Gallery from The Art-Journal, and
Swinburne's poem "Erotion", which was inspired by Solomon's painting Damon and
Aglae.
** a new web page with 31 citations of information about REBECCA SOLOMON
(1832-1886), Simeon Solomon's sister.  This is the first attempt to create a
bibliography of resources about her.

Latest statistics on the SSRA:
49 web pages
167 citations, 135 with annotations
31 citations for Rebecca Solomon
36 full-text documents in HTML
3 full-text documents in PDF
35 digital images
9,481 visitors to web site on the original server from Nov. 21, 2001 thru
Sep. 5, 2005

As always, my thanks for your support and encouragement on this labor of love.

Roberto
