Many librarians are asking for me to summarize responses, which I will gladly do. So far 2 people have replied with their insights. While these responses are very good, there must be more of you with valuable information. Please respond – and the whole community will benefit.
Thank you,
Susan

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Auction House catalogs online
Good morning ARLIS librarians,
I am hoping some of you will be willing to share your observations, research, and/or opinions about auction house catalogs. We currently hold catalogs from 36 different auction houses (from Aguttes through Wright). Some of them have runs starting a long way back.
Our chief curator asks: How many of the auction catalogues are available on-line?
I know that she underestimates the complexity of this question. I briefly looked at Sotheby’s and was confused by my findings. I’m hoping librarians with more knowledge and experience can suggest answers to her question.
Thank you very much,
Susan
