Dear Colleague,
I have recently created a new website for Hogarth researchers all over the
world. It includes information on my own publications, but also many other
useful references to the vast amount of source literature on William Hogarth.
Could I possibly ask you to include the following site in your list of
Hogarth links:
http://come.to/William_Hogarth
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Bernd Krysmanski

VISUAL RESOURCES ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES
THE PUBLICATION OF NEW IMAGE COLLECTION GUIDELINES
Guidelines will focus on the acquisition and use
of visual images in educational settings
<http://www.oberlin.edu/~art/vra/vra.html>http://www.oberlin.edu/~art/vra/vra.html
(Washington, D.C., October 4, 2000) Visual Resources Association, the
international organization of image media professionals, recently announced
the publication of a new guide for visual resources professionals. The
Image Collection Guidelines: The Acquisition and Use of Images in
Non-Profit Educational Visual Resource Collections will provide practical
principles for the acquisition, attribution, and display of visual images
for educational use.
The Image Collection Guidelines were developed by the VRA Intellectual
Property Rights Committee upon the conclusion of the U. S. Commerce
Department Conference on Fair Use in 1998. Through representatives Virginia
M.G. Hall (Johns Hopkins University) and Kathe Hicks Albrecht (American
University), VRA actively participated in the Conference on Fair Use from
1994 to 1998. CONFU participants from museums, libraries, publishing
companies, and educational institutions, sought to develop a set of
guidelines for the use of digital images that would meet the needs and
interests of museums, libraries, publishers, educators, and the general
public. Although the CONFU process failed to result in approved guidelines
for digital images, VRA participants recognized the importance of providing
guidelines for those working in the field.
Kathe Hicks Albrecht, chair of the Intellectual Property Rights Committee,
explained that many educational institutions are dependent upon the use of
illustrative images for teaching and that the introduction of digital
information and electronic networks has dramatically changed the use of
visual information. Issues of copyright, display standards, image
duplication, and legal responsibility need to be addressed in the digital
era. Those who work in the information field and those who teach with
illustrative images find that professionally accepted principles for
acquisition, use, and display of these images can be very helpful.
In May 2000, the newly published Image Collection Guidelines were featured
in a double session at the American Association of Museums conference in
Baltimore, Maryland . The session, sponsored by the National Initiative
for a Networked Cultural Heritage, focused on resources and policies
recently developed by the cultural community and included the work of the
American Association of Museums, the College Art Association, and the
Visual Resources Association.
Ann Whiteside, VRA President, stated that the Guidelines, originally
published in the VRA Bulletin (Fall 1999, vol. 26, no.3, pp. 27-29), is
available in print form for distribution to educational institutions and is
also available electronically on the VRA website at
