I was going to chime in in this same vain. Does anyone know how many
VRA members working in art-related collections vs non-art related
collections? I seem to recall that at one point the image librarian
at the Bat Conservation Society in Austin was a VRA member (with no
interest in the subject of art). She attended our chapter
conferences when there was relevant VR programming, but had no
interest in ARLIS/NA conferences. Don't image librarians and photo
curators working in historical societies and special collections in
all kinds of disciplines join VRA?
