[ARLIS-L] BHA and European Journals
MRuth Thomas <[log in to unmask]>
Since BHA indexes so many European journals, what is the reaction of European scholars and librarians? Do they depend on BHA or do they have other art history databases to rely on? I tried looking at eresources holdings for a few libraries, but I couldn't get a sense of alternatives that we may not know about.

From: Patricia Harpring, Managing Editor, Getty Vocabulary Program
Re: architects' names from the Avery Index
We are happy to report that around 90,000 architects' names from the Avery Index have been loaded into ULAN candidate hierarchies. Beginning in late June 2009, we will begin to process the architects' records and they will appear gradually over the next several months with the published data on ULAN online http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/ulan/ . The will be included with the licensed files in June 2010.
Thanks to Ted Goodman at the Avery and our technical staff here at the Getty for making this possible. We realize that the user community has been awaiting access to the newer Avery architects' names for some time now. (Normally, news of our editorial work is posted at http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/recent_editorial_work.pdf, not on the list serves.)

[ARLIS-L] Unique early Judy Chicago film
WJudith Dancoff <[log in to unmask]>
I want to let you know about an important early film on Judy Chicago that has just been made available on DVD. Take a look at the website http://www.judychicagoandthecaliforniagirls.com for streaming video clips of Judy discussing her philosophy behind 'cunt imagery' that led to the Dinner Party, early performance art, and an authentic time capsule of early 1970's feminist art. As a cinema-verité documentary, the film offers an intimate view of Judy's earliest work as a teacher in her first, all-woman program at Fresno State College, and includes footage of such now well-known artists as Suzanne Lacy, Faith Wilding, and Vanalyne Green.
About the film, Judy's biographer Gail Levin said, "Judy Chicago & the California Girls" is a lively and engaging documentary on a significant moment in the history of feminist art and pedagogy. Filmmaker Judith Dancoff gets lots of credit for recognizing and preserving a unique moment in the history of American art."
"Judy Chicago & the California Girls" has screened has screened or is owned by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Armand Hammer Museum, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, The Schlesinger Center at Radcliffe, Princeton University, Stanford University, Columbia University, campuses of the University of California, and numerous other institutions.
More information can be found at http://www.judychicagoandthecaliforniagirls.com. Feel free to contact me with any questions and enjoy the clips!

CAA Statement on BHA and Getty Research Institute
posted by Michael Fahlund
Like many of our art colleagues and allied academic and cultural
institutions in the field, the College Art Association is deeply concerned
about the status of the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA). CAA
continues to communicate with the Getty Research Institute (copublisher of
the BHA, along with the French Institut de l’Information Scientifique et
Technique du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) about the future
of the BHA and how this vital bibliographic resource can be maintained. We
will do what we can as necessary to secure its longevity once we have had
our inquiries answered by the Getty.
Here's a link to the statement:

[ARLIS-L] Exhibition invitation cards - "Gallery Card as Relic?"
TJonathan Franklin <[log in to unmask]>
This is an interesting article about the disappearance of printed exhibition invitation cards in favour of electronic mailings:
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/23/gallery-card-as-relic/
Online comment number 7 refers to the archival value of these printed ephemera as collected by archives and libraries. We have collected the printed cards for a long time and are now concerned about archiving the electronic ones. Has anyone developed any neat solutions for the latter problem? May be worth sharing with the list.
Thanks
