----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The Phoenix Art Museum will be receiving a large body of an artist's art work and also the archives, the entire contents of which are not known at this time but that does contain the artist's papers and a toy collection that has inspired the artist in his work. I have related questions about collections management and cataloging, and storage and access that I would like to ask any responding Librarians directly. I am also interested in feedback to the following: Do any of you manage collections that include archives that contain works of art or other types of object collections? Are any of these collections or parts of collections on permanent public view in theft proof display cases, cabinets, drawers, etc.? Have any of you had experiences with an artist's work and archives being donated to an institution and the contents of the donation divided between the library and other departments within the institution for purposes of collections management, or does your institution own collections that have been divided up in this or another way? Thank you in advance for your time. Please respond directly to me. Genni Houlihan Librarian Phoenix Art Museum 1625 N. Central Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85004 [log in to unmask] 602-257-2137
