The New York Art Resources Consortium has announced the completion of the digitization project “Documenting the Gilded Age: New York City Exhibitions at the Turn of the 20th Century”. A collaboration between the Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives and the Frick Art Reference Library, the project showcases their collections of the late 19th and early 20th century exhibition catalogs, pamphlets, and checklists from New York City art galleries, clubs and associations. The full-text digital facsimiles from 172 catalogs are available through Arcade, the NYARC consortium catalog, and individual items can be downloaded as PDFs.
Staff members from both institutions have also created an accompanying online exhibition, which can be viewed at http://gildedage.omeka.net. The exhibition features images from the Brummer Gallery, Century Association, Colony Club, Cottier Gallery, Grand Central Art Galleries, Lotos Club, Montross Gallery, National Association of Portrait Painters, New York Water Color Club, Salmagundi Club, and Union League Club.
