Documenting Art Collections in Gilded Age New York, the fourth phase of the digital project
Documenting the Gilded Age, provides public access to rare historical catalogs from the Frick Art Reference Library through digital facsimiles and an
online exhibition. Thanks to grant funding from the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO), seventy-nine volumes documenting New York Gilded Age art collections are now available in
digital form, and may be accessed via
Arcade (the catalog of the New York Art Resources Consortium), OCLC WorldCat, Art Discovery Group Catalogue, the Internet Archive, and the Getty Research Portal. In the near future, these digital publications will also be discoverable through the Digital
Public Library of America. An accompanying online exhibition featuring a video introduction by Inge Reist, Director of the Center for the History of Collecting at the Frick Collection, highlights the research value of these catalogs. Please visit the links
