The Barnes Foundation, which houses billions of dollars worth of
Impressionist paintings in Merion, Pa., received a federal grant to organize
documents in the collection, the organization said Wednesday.
The grant of $95,397 from the National Endowment for the Humanities will
help pay for a two-year project to re-house, arrange and catalog writings,
financial documents, correspondence and other records of foundation and its
founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes. The Barnes has more than 200 linear feet of
manuscript material dating from 1900-80.

The Curious Incident of the Boxes
By SARAH LYALL
Published: May 19, 2004
LONDON, May 18 — For 25 years the cardboard boxes, more than a dozen of them, sat in a
corner of a London office, gathering dust while lawyers argued about whom they belonged to
and scholars dreamed about what was inside. But the auction this Wednesday of their contents,
once belonging to Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, has provoked another fight
and a mystery almost worthy of Holmes himself.

Closed clinics' files due to be destroyed
By Richard Wronski
Tribune staff reporter
Published May 19, 2004
Two years after a medical practice went bankrupt, shutting the doors of eight
clinics from Hoffman Estates to Mokena, thousands of patients' medical records
that have not been claimed are likely be destroyed in a few weeks.
Former patients at clinics in Chicago and the southwest and west suburbs have claimed only a small percentage of 250,000 abandoned records. About 35,000 of 98,000 records have been claimed by patients at defunct clinics in Hoffman Estates and Elk Grove Village, officials said Tuesday.

US investigators seize State House
records in Finneran probe
Mass. Senate computers scoured
By Frank Phillips, Globe Staff | May 19, 2004
Federal investigators have seized files from some State House computers that were used in
legislative redistricting, according to two senior legislative sources. The agents were gathering data,
including deleted e-mails and other documents, as part of their probe into the veracity of House
Speaker Thomas M. Finneran's testimony in a federal civil court case.
ADVERTISEMENT The FBI, using a subpoena it had delivered to the Special Committee on
Redistricting on March 10, went to Beacon Hill last month and removed the information from the
computers used by the Senate to draw districts for the 2002 election, said the sources, who asked not
to be identified.
The agents were particularly seeking any documents, either e-mails or letters, that showed Finneran
was in contact with the Senate map-makers over redistricting. Such documents do not exist,
according to one of the legislative sources.
