-
Phase two
-
- Rather than using websites listed in the Art
Museum, Gallery and Art Center index and Academies,
Associations, Ateliers and Societies index, for phase two TFAO uses
the National Calendar of Exhibitions as
a guide to research prior exhibits. The institutions canvassed in phase
one are excluded. Phase two began in late 2015.
-
-
Research protocol
- The research protocol is:
-
- 1. Open a browser window showing TFAO's Art
Museum, Gallery and Art Center index.
-
- 2. Open a browser window showing TFAO's National
Calendar of Exhibitions starting with 2005 exhibits.
-
- 3. Compare year by year the list of institutions in National
Calendar of Exhibitions with museums listed in the Art
Museum, Gallery and Art Center index, Academies,
Associations, Ateliers and Societies index and institutions found in
phase one not included in these indexes (see note below).
-
- 4. list below all institutions found in the National
Calendar of Exhibitions that were not listed in the Art
Museum, Gallery and Art Center index, Academies,
Associations, Ateliers and Societies index and institutions found in
phase one not included in these indexes.
-
- 5. click on the website name of each institution identified in step
4.
-
- 6. For any past exhibit listed in the institution's website having
qualified information related to a topic
without extensive Resource Library
coverage of the exhibit, create an entry for the exhibit within the "Other
Web Resources" section for the topic in the Topics
in American Art catalog. Qualified information posted online must include
either extended press releases, multi-paragraph texts or curator essays.
Also included may be checklists, object labels, wall panel texts, catalogs,
brochures, multiple images, and video gallery tours. If TFAO becomes aware
of university museums using the Digital Commons platform, an additional
part of TFAO's research protocol is to use Google search to locate URLs
for Digital Commons posts. Digital Commons materials are best accessed
via basic Google search by entering keywords from an exhibition's name
followed by the museum's name.
-
- 7. Each qualified entry will have the name of the exhibit (with link)
followed by the dates of the exhibit, the name of the exhibiting museum,
a brief description of the type of online information, followed by the
month and year that TFAO accessed the museum's website. The brief description
may indicate that a curator's essay, online video, checklist, etc. is included.
-
- 8. after analysis of information is each institution's website, the
level of information found along with the month and year of analysis, is
listed after the institution's name. Levels are E for extensive, M for
moderate and N for negligible as defined in the phase one protocol.
-
-
Benefits of phase two
- As was the case for phase one, many additional references are being
added to the Topics in American Art catalog.
