Could I ask any respondents to reply to [log in to unmask], rather than to the list as a whole? Apologies for cross posting Dear list members I am interested in tracing books that were once in the Parish Library of Holy Trinity Church, Little Ouseburn, North Yorkshire. The few titles I have so far located have inscriptions identifying them as from the church library, and as far as I know there were no formal book labels, plates or other regular marks of provenance. I would be extremely interested to hear of any other survivals. Many thanks Ed -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 09:30:44 -0000 From: AHDS Visual Arts <[log in to unmask]> Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?The_Visual_Arts_-_Russian_style?= A new collection featuring images of rare and/or previously unpublished Russian works of art is now available online via AHDS Visual Arts. Russian Visual Arts: Art Criticism in Context, 1814-1909 contains over 300 images and primary texts from the nineteenth and early twentieth century - a period of immense activity in all aspects of the Russian visual arts. Highlights of the collection include a selection of texts written between 1814 and 1909. The texts cover the emergence of Russian art criticism as a distinct genre of writing at the beginning of the nineteenth century to the early manifestations of modernism. A number of essential sources are translated into English for the first time and feature the work of major writers on art and the nature of discussions on contemporary art in Russia. The texts are complemented by images taken from contemporaneous publications (such as lavishly-illustrated art journals, newspapers and pamphlets) which contribute to the ambience in which the texts were produced. Russian Visual Arts: Art Criticism in Context, 1814-1909 is the result of a three year project entitled Russian Visual Arts: Documents from the British Library Collection which took place between the years 2000-2003. The project was established jointly by the Department of Russian at the University of Exeter and the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of Sheffield. AHDS Visual Arts now has over 32,000 images dedicated to research, learning and teaching.

So far i come across two products NetOp & Videodidact Select. If you have a similar facility i would appreciate a few details and a recommendation as appropriate as to its use. For this to be compatable it will need to work on Windows XP.
