----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Well, my answer may not be exactly what you expected but back in the 1970s, I asked that the School of Fine Arts/Studio area begin requiring (as part of MFA requirements) that all MFA students deposit in the FA Library a copy of their master's thesis statement (often just several pages), vita, and all slides or photographs used in their orals defense (or in final MFA exhibit). Prior to that time, this material just disappeared into faculty offices, files, or ? Once I established this policy, many studio faculty immediately emptied their studios of this material and gave them to the FA Library. This process has been quite successful and we now have four filing cabinets filled with this documentation. We do keep the files locked and monitor usage since material started disappearing when the files were left open in our reading room. In principle, the concept is the same as that required for doctoral or ma students in art history. It also seems to work. The departmental secretary automatically brings this material to us and this action is on a checklist for MFA degree requirements.
