Because it was printed in the 1930s on poor quality paper, it has become so brittle that the original issues can no longer be used. With funding raised by Fran LaFleur from the United Board for Christian Education, and with help from CUL's Preservation Division and AcIS, public on-line access to the full texts and color reproductions of photos and covers is nearly ready. The Libraries has charged the Task Force on Networked Electronic Resources Implementation to recommend Libraries-wide policies, procedures, organizational structures, and organizational capacities that will significantly improve the operations and services that deliver networked electronic resources. The task force will focus upon such issues as selection, licensing, bibliographic control, user assistance, training, and job design, etc. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 1 to 5 pm.
Admission is free.
Hogarth is widely recognized as the first native-born English artist to achieve true international standing. Selected by the noted scholar David Bindman, the exhibition includes more than 120 prints and drawings primarily from the collection of the British Museum in London. In addition to numerous works by Hogarth the exhibit includes works by his contemporaries and later artists influenced by his art. Together they present a new perspective on an artist whose fascination for the underside of eighteenth-century London society has remained unfailingly popular throughout nearly three centuries. In conjunction with the exhibition the Wallach Art Gallery will host a day-long symposium on November 7, 1998.
