Dear colleagues,

I am happy to share this press release with you.

Max Marmor
Director of Collection Development
ArtSTOR

***

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation announced today the appointment of Nancy S.
Allen to the newly created position of Director of Museum Relations for
ArtSTOR, effective March 4, 2002.  ArtSTOR is an initiative of the Mellon
Foundation to develop, "store," and distribute digital images and related
scholarly materials for the study of art, architecture, and other fields in
the humanities.

Ms. Allen will assume primary responsibility for communicating ArtSTOR's
mission and goals to the museum community both in the US and abroad,
representing ArtSTOR within that professional community, and developing key
components of ArtSTOR programs that can contribute to the mission of museums
and advance the goals of ArtSTOR. In this capacity she will help identify
and advance potential digital projects that are of interest to musuems and
that involve museum curators, collections managers and registrars,
information resource specialists, and museum educators.  For example,
ArtSTOR is committed to expanding and enhancing the authority of the
cataloging information associated with various ArtSTOR collections; Ms.
Allen will play a key role in designing strategies supporting this goal in
partnership with museum information managers.  Ms. Allen will work closely
with ArtSTOR's executive director, James Shulman, with its chairman, Neil
Rudenstine, and with other key ArtSTOR staff.

Ms. Allen previously served as the Susan Morse Hilles Director of
Information Resources for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1995 and as
its Chief Librarian from 1977 to 1995.  Simultaneously, she taught graduate
courses in library and information sciences at Simmons College in Boston
from 1983 to 1997.  Ms. Allen has served as a member of the Board of
Directors for the Research Libraries Group and on the Executive Committee
for the Art Museum Image Consortium.
