In case you haven't seen this elsewhere, I wanted to share that MoMA has launched an interactive digital research platform as an outcome of a four year Mellon-funded project to study the amazing Thomas Walther Collection. http://www.moma.org/interactives/objectphoto/#home From the press release: "The Museum of Modern Art announces Object:Photo. Modern Photographs: The Thomas Walther Collection 1909–1949, the result of a four-year collaborative project between the Museum’s departments of Photography and Conservation, with the participation of over two dozen leading international photography scholars and conservators, making it the most extensive effort to integrate conservation, curatorial, and scholarly research efforts on photography to date. The project is composed of multiple parts: a website that features a suite of digital-visualization research tools that allow visitors to explore the collection, make queries, and discover connections themselves, supported by in-depth information on each photograph and an anthology of essays by scholars on selected themes and pictures; a hard-bound paper catalogue of the entire Thomas Walther collection, with extensive scholarly contributions; an interdisciplinary symposium focusing on ways in which the digital age is changing our engagement with historic photographs; and a related exhibition<http://press.moma.org/2014/04/thomas-walther/> of works from the Thomas Walther Collection, which is the first full presentation of this remarkable collection." A record for this resource has been contributed to WorldCat (#898182213) if you wish to include it in your catalogs: http://www.worldcat.org/title/objectphoto-the-thomas-walther-collection-1909-1949/oclc/898182213&referer=brief_results -Lily -- Lily Pregill NYARC Coordinator & Systems Manager 919.869.7286 | [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | http://nyarc.org The New York Art Resources Consortium consists of the research libraries of the Brooklyn Museum, The Frick Collection, and the Museum of Modern Art. <http://arcade.nyarc.org> The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
