Please see below for a kind offer which has come to our attention: I was hoping to contact members of ARLIS regarding donating copies of my grandmother’s publication – Jacobsen’s Biographical Index of American Artists, to members of the ARLIS. (We have donated a copy of the Index to several museum libraries including the MFA’s Hunt Library, if you have any questions about the Index from another group who added the Index to their collection). My sister and I are hoping to donate this important technical resource and collect gift acknowledgments to use as tax deductions, to recoup the expense of moving these books from my grandmother’s estate in Dallas, Texas. We would ask any organization which would like a copy of this index (values at $450.00) to provide a prepaid shipping label. Would is be possible to distribute this offer of donation to members of ARLIS? If you have any questions, please email and I will be glad to review with you. I appreciate your time and consideration in helping me with this query. Thank you, Beth Jacobsen Link to a website describing the Index - _http://www.ajpublications.com/default.htm_ -- **************** Amy Lucker Library Director Institute of Fine Arts New York University 1 East 78th Street New York, NY 10075 /and/ Acting Director Technical Services Department New York University Division of Libraries 20 Cooper Square, 3rd Floor New York, NY 10003 [log in to unmask] (212) 992-5826 __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
