Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to share the latest new digital content produced by the Menil Library.  We have two new complete digital surrogates of Special Collections items, here presented (we believe) as complete, free works online for the first time:

The 1919 French edition of F.T. Marinetti’s Les mots en liberteì futurists:

A 1503 French and Latin Book of Hours:

These join the nine other digital surrogates of Special Collections items produced in the last year and half, all of which can be found here:

Additionally, we now have 141 Menil Collection exhibition gallery guides available.  They can be found here:

We have a collection of electronic gallery material from two of Houston’s most important modern and contemporary commercial galleries:

140 electronic exhibition catalogues from Texas Gallery: https://menilcollectionlib.on.worldcat.org/search?queryString=kw%3ATexas+Gallery+AND+x0%3Abook+%2B+x4%3Adigital&databaseList=638&origPageViewName=pages%2Fadvanced-search-page

And

31 electronic exhibition catalogues from Hiram Butler Gallery:

Many thanks to Lauren Gottlieb-Miller, Assistant Librarian, Anthony Flores, Imaging Technician, and Margaret McKee, Imaging Services Specialist for their hard work making this possible.

Of course, all of these records are available in OCLC should any of you wish to derive records from them and link the digital content directly to your catalogues.  I hope these resources are as useful to you and your users as they are to us and ours.

All best,

Eric
