HARTILL ART ASSOCIATES was begun in 1977 as the result of winning a 
World prize contest organised by NESTLE SUISSE for their product 
 NESCAFE !   Alec won a trip to PARIS, Air France First Class, and 6 
nights at the Hotel George Cinq, followed by flying the CONCORDE via 
DAKAR and onto RIO de JANEIRO for 10 nights at the Hotel Meridien.  Of 
course he had a partner, Marlene who had just completed her degree in 
Teaching after receiving an Honours BA in Fine Arts.

Our first project documented Cathedral Notre-Dame de CHARTRES,  having 
received permission from the French Ministry of Culture, and then in 
BRAZIL we were officially welcomed and flown to BRASILIA by the Office 
of Tourism in order to photograph the vast complex of government 
buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

During the past 30 years we have travelled to over 15 countries and have 
provided slides to universities in Australia, Canada, England, New 
Zealand, South  Africa and the U.S.A.  Despite robbery hazards and 
intemperate weather we enjoyed our photography and we captured thousands 
of interesting images that  have proven of real interest and value to 
all our International clientele.

Now, due to the lessening of demand for Slides and the acceptance of  a 
new  world in the form of Digital Imaging, you may find many of our 
images on ARTstor.   However,  the TOTAL image Collection lives on in 
SCHOLARS RESOURCE and can be licensed in perpetuity, which is a great 
advantage. In addition you should note that specialised Theme projects 
on DVDs will continue to be available direct  from HAA's home address.

Finally, we have recently been greatly honoured by the acceptance of the 
Archive by the NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA which will be of benefit to 
many Art Historians and Researchers  in the future. Truly a fitting end 
to HAA's career!

HAA must bid you all "Farewell", and in so doing I wish all those who 
supported and encouraged us down the years to know that we have been 
very grateful for that support.   

Thank you all, very much!            

Alec Hartill
