Thanks, Andy, & good to know. I'd be more impressed if they'd followed the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and put on line all their recent huge glossy exhibition catalogues, up to about 5 years ago. Admittedly these are PDF but the 1050 items already online at http://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/search/collection/p15324coll10 represent a fantastic resource, which I'm working with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WilliamDigiCol to insert as external links or further reading at relevant WP articles - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WilliamDigiCol/Archive. Older catalogues are much more basic listings than the big modern ones, and in most cases won't be worth linking in the same way - for the MMA I don't think usually anything from before the 1970s is worth a link.
