Dear colleagues, I am delighted to announce that the Menil Collection Library is now a contributor to the prestigious Getty Research Portal. In the words of the Getty Research Institute: "The Getty Research Portal(tm) is an online search platform providing global access to digitized art history texts. Through this multilingual, multicultural union catalog, scholars can search and download complete digital copies of publications for the study of art, architecture, material culture, and related fields. The Portal is free to all users." The Menil Collection joins a very elite list of contributing institutions: Advising Contributors Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library at Columbia University Frick Art Reference Library Getty Research Institute Heidelberg University Library Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art Contributors Biblioteca de la Universidad de Málaga Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives Gallica - Bibliothèque nationale de France Getty Publications Virtual Library Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz Library of the Philadelphia Museum of Art National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives New York Art Resources Consortium (including the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Modern Art) Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative Smithsonian Libraries Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Our first contributions are a complete scan of the 1875 edition of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven illustrated by Edouard Manet and all of our gallery guides since 2010. We will continue to contribute content to this important project as we capture it. To see all the content we have contributed, visit the portal, http://portal.getty.edu/portal/landing and search for the Menil Collection or your favorite exhibition of ours from the last 5 years. Thanks to Consuelo Gutierrez and Margaret McKee as well as Dan Lipcan and Ken Soehner at the Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for helping make this possible. This is something I have been working on for some time and I am thrilled to have us involved in this important scholarly initiative. All best, Eric Eric M.
