ARLIS/NA Artist Files Special Interest Group on ARLISNA Commons 1 year, 11 months agoAmy,
Something I have frequently come across in our artist files is a situation where a married couple may work collaboratively, and also have their own solo practices.

ARLIS/NA Artist Files Special Interest Group on ARLISNA Commons 1 year, 11 months agoWe have a general rule for our Artist files that if there is a separate Library of Congress authority record for the artist (or group, or gallery, etc.) then it warrants it’s own file.

Amy Furness replied to the topic Deeds of Gift in the discussion
ARLIS/NA Artist Files Special Interest Group on ARLISNA Commons 2 years agoCommons seems to be cutting off your post after the first sentence or so, Amelia. I’m intrigued to hear more – we have not used a deed of gift at AGO even when inviting artist contributions, maybe because we discourage the inclusion of unique material. What is the scale of your collection, particularly the local artist component?
