Dear Colleagues
I'm always a wee bit wary of European funded initiatives, but Jacqueline
seems genuinely keen to hear about archives relating to contemporary art /
artists - I sent her a wee note about our holdings here at the GSA, and got
an immediate enthusiastic response from her. You'll see from her web page
that she so far has not covered any holdings north of the border.
Not much on the web site www.vektor.at yet, but it could become a useful
finding aid in the future.
Best wishes
John

Subject: Ephemera of contemporary art
> Dear all,
>
> I would be very interested to know of any collections of ephemera, artists
files etc. on contemporary art, in your libraries, as I am compiling a
> reference list of collections for the conclusion of the European 'Vektor:
archives of contemporary art' project (http://www.vektor.at) which will be
> published in the final report of that project.
>
> I know of the collections at the NAL and Tate Gallery Library, and also
the group of organisations associated with inIVA and the Women's Art
> Library (MAKE). I know very little so far about collections in Scotland,
Wales and Ireland, and outside London, so would be please to hear about
> those. The collections I am looking for would hold ephemeral material from
the 1990s to the present from a range of sources, and have some kind
> of electronic access existing or planned.
>
> If anyone is interested, my list so far can be seen at
http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/art-archive/liblist.html
