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.
