ARLIS/NA News Release
For Immediate Release
The Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) is pleased to
announce receipt of a grant in the amount of $4,200 from the Getty
Grant Program of the J. Paul Getty Trust to support the participation
of Gu Yinhai, Deputy Manager of the Library of the Shanghai Museum at
the 29th Annual Conference in Los Angeles, March 29th-April 4th. Mr.
Gu will be a featured speaker at a session on libraries and publishing
in China sponsored by the ARLIS/NA International Relations Committee,
"Treasures of the Dragon: Exploring Art Libraries and Publishing in
China". Art librarians attending the conference will hear first-hand
accounts of issues and trends in publishing and librarianship in China.
Gu is head of a major art library in China and has authored a
substantial body of publications about China's cultural heritage.
ARLIS/NA has a longstanding commitment to developing strong and vital
links with art librarians around the world. The ARLIS/NA International
Relations Committee organizes internationally focussed conference panel
sessions, inviting art librarians from abroad to participate as
speakers. These activities enhance mutual knowledge and expand the
horizons of ARLIS/NA members.
The Getty Grant Program fosters work of exceptional merit for which
resources are otherwise limited. It supports a wide range of projects
that promote research in the history of art and related fields,
advancement of the understanding of art, and conservation of cultural
heritage. Previous grants from the Getty Grant Program to ARLIS/NA
have generously supported three art librarians from South America to
participate in our 28th annual conference (Pittsburgh) and ten Eastern
European art librarians for our 21st annual conference (San Francisco).
