Dear all

The Bodleian Libraries is one of the UK’s ‘copyright libraries’ and consequently we receive a significant percentage of auction catalogues published nationwide. (We also receive auction catalogues published in other locations; many of these arrive via the Ashmolean Museum.) I, too, would like to join the conversation. – And I’d especially like to know more about how the Frick’s web archiving project operates with regard to auction catalogues.

Best wishes

Hi,

I would be very interested in a discussion - I've recently taken over some of the auction catalog responsibilities at the Frick Art Reference Library and it has been a challenge to address both print and digital formats and the changing landscape.

We have a robust system in place for handling PDFs thanks to our Web Archiving program but from the Acquisitions side any discussion would be very welcome!

Best,

Mary

Dear Nel and Jonathan,

We were notified last summer that Sotheby's would no longer produce print auction catalogues when we tried to renew our subscription. Whenever a PDF of the catalogue is available on the Sotheby's website, we download the catalogue; otherwise, we create our own PDFs. We have recently learned that Christie's may also cease publication of a print catalogue.

We would be interested in having a discussion about this issue and are looking for partners to share the responsibility of this collecting endeavor. If anyone is interested in discussing this further, please do let me know. I would be happy to organize a meeting in the new year.

Cheers,

Jessica

Dear Nel

Thanks for raising this. I concluded from the FAQ on their web site https://www.sothebys.com/en/faq-help?locale=en that they were not printing any more catalogues, but now some are finding their way to us. Hard to know what is or is not being printed, and what we can rely on receiving in the way of complimentary copies sent to curators if subscriptions are no longer possible. I would be interested to hear if others have more insight.

Best regards

Jonathan

This Message originated outside your organization.

Dear colleagues,

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam collects the print versions of auction catalogues. Recently, I tried to renew our subscription to the Sotheby’s catalogues, but they are no longer renewing their print subscriptions. Do you still collect printed auction catalogues, and if so, how do you deal with this problem?

Best regards,

Mrs. Nel ten Brug
