An excellent idea. You should also try to get someone from Amico.

> As an addenda to Max Marmor's 4/10 message on the relationship of the
> Digital Library Federation's Academic Image Cooperative to the Mellon
> ArtSTOR initiative, I offer the following comment, from the point of view
> of
> a research library and photoarchive involved in some of the planning for
> ArtSTOR:
> The Mellon Foundation's development of ArtSTOR was informed not only by
> the
> academic teaching community, but also by libraries and photoarchives whose
> focus is on the documentation of art. At the Mellon's initiative, a
> meeting
> of some of the world's largest and most significant photo-archives took
> place at the Getty Research Institute in February. Participants were: the
> Witt Library of the Courtauld Institute, the Netherlands Institute for Art
> History (RKD), Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, the National Gallery of Art
> (U.S.),
> the Getty Research Institute, and the Frick Art Reference Library. As a
> result of this meeting, the Foundation has gained additional insight into
> the role of photoarchives in art historical research. The depth and
> breadth
> of these historic image collections have particular value for use in
> teaching research methodology, training the eye in making attributions,
> detailing the affects of time, war, and conservation on works of art, and
> providing a wealth of textual information on provenance and patronage. The
> concept of ArtSTOR, while still under development, carries the tantalizing
> possibility of a virtual doorway to these and other important repositories
> of images of works of art.

> Jill Patrick asks about the Mellon Foundation's new ArtSTOR initiative,
> most fully described in a press release on the Mellon web site at

> <http://www.mellon.org/artstor%20announcement.html> , and the subject of
> brief notices in the NY Times and the Chronicle of Higher Education last

> Foundation's thinking about ArtSTOR has been helpfully informed by the
> work
> of the Digital Library Federation's Academic Image Cooperative. The
> collections and indeed the collection strategy DLF has been pursuing will
> to a significant extent inform the early development of the ArtSTOR
> project, which will focus on the creation of teaching collections
> supporting widespread art history curricula. ArtSTOR is not related to
> AMICO or other imaging initiatives, though it will surely complement them
> fruitfully.
