----------------------------Original message---------------------------- RLG is pleased to announce two new contributors to SCIPIO, the Grolier Club of New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Grolier Club will be contributing some 2000 records for 19th-century French book auction catalogs, thanks to a grant from the Florence Gould Foundation. The Grolier is planning to add in the future some 50,000 records for European and American book dealer and book auction catalogs. The Philadelphia Museum of Art will begin to contribute its records of art auction sales catalogs from European and North American houses to SCIPIO during the spring of 1998. The initial project will include RECON of pre-1850 materials in the collection, dating from 1756. The PMA plans to contribute records of current sale catalogs beginning in September 1998. To learn more about SCIPIO, contact Katie Keller at RLG.
