Digitized Art Gallery and Dealer records: Metropolitan Museum of Art

Description


The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Thomas J. Watson Library has begun a Digitization initiative to expand access to the Library's rich holdings. Two collections associated with the RISD Museum of Art have been digitized: the Joseph and Ernest Brummer records, 1890-1946, and the Knoedler and Company Exhibition Catalogues, 1869-1946. Both collections compliment RISD Museum of Art records held by the RISD Archives.
