Dear colleagues,


I'm pleased to share the following announcement regarding enhancements to
NYARC Discovery. I hope you'll give our new platform a try and send us your
feedback.

*Web Archives and Photoarchive Images Now Available in NYARC Discovery*


NYARC Discovery (http://discovery.nyarc.org) is a new research tool from
The New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), consisting of the libraries
of the Brooklyn Museum, the Frick Art Reference Library, and The Museum of
Modern Art. We are happy to introduce the integration of two important
collections into NYARC Discovery – the NYARC web archives collections and
images from the Frick Art Reference Library’s Photoarchive
<http://www.frick.org/research/photoarchive>.


*Web Archives*: Researchers can now discover web archives along with books,
journal articles, auction catalogs, traditional archives and a host of
other materials while performing a single search in NYARC Discovery. Given
the ephemeral nature of digital content, web archives are becoming
increasingly important to document the scholarly and cultural record,
making it essential to make them easily accessible to users. The NYARC web
archives include six thematic collections and the consortium’s
institutional website collections:

·       Art Resources

·       Artists’ Websites

·       Auction Houses

·       Catalogues Raisonnés

·       New York City Galleries

·       Restitution of Lost or Looted Art

·       Brooklyn Museum

·       The Frick Collection

·       The Museum of Modern Art

·       New York Art Resources Consortium

A search in NYARC Discovery defaults to include a single full-text search
result from the NYARC web archives collections. Links to the full web
archives result set are provided for further exploration on the Archive-It
interface <https://archive-it.org/organizations/484>.


Each web archives collection continues to expand with the addition of new
web resources. If you would like to nominate a website for consideration
for inclusion in one of these collections, please submit our online
nominations form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SsYxDN-N8O6PWTPTNhKGlOEKareMIlM3EMJuRGMAu7E/viewform>.

*Photoarchive*: The Frick Art Reference Library’s Photoarchive is a study
collection of more than one million photographic reproductions of works of
art from the fourth to the mid-twentieth century by artists trained in the
Western tradition. As of summer 2016, nearly 200,000 catalog records and
over 75,000 digital images are accessible through NYARC Discovery.
Cataloging and digitization of this collection is ongoing. A fun way to
explore the collection is using the Virtual Browse feature, where
researchers can now digitally browse the Photoarchive image files.



Built on ExLibris Primo technology, NYARC Discovery was launched earlier
this year and continues to be developed to unite scholarly resources into a
single search environment. NYARC Discovery is made possible through the
generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Announcements will continue to be distributed as collections and features
are added. Questions and comments may be sent to Lily Pregill, NYARC
Coordinator and Systems Manager ([log in to unmask]).
