This morning I had the opportunity to meet retired art librarian Stanley Hess. Long time ARLIS/NA members may remember Dr. Hess as he worked at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He retired to Bremerton, Washington which is near the University of Puget Sound. Dr. Hess has a large collection of museum publications as well as a significant personal art library that he is hoping to find a home for. I told him I would share a message on ARLIS-L in case there are librarians that may be interested in learning more about his collections and/or would like to make a connection. You may contact me directly at [log in to unmask]
Thank you,
Jane Carlin,
Library Director, University of Puget Sound
P.S. In his retirement, he has focused on the establishment of a rather unique museum of puppetry. See the link here:
