the doctor was both puzzled and disappointed, but he solved his perplexity by saying to himself that his daughter simply misrepresented justifiably if one would but nevertheless misrepresented the facts and he eased off his disappointment Whig was that of a man losing a chance for a little triumph that he had rather counted on by a few words he uttered aloud. don’t sue me Henry James.

The folks at NYARC (i.e. Lily Pregill) asked me for a blog post describing the auction catalog pilot project, coordinated by JSTOR with support from the Mellon Foundation, that we’ve worked on at The Metropolitan in collaboration with the Frick. It’s been posted here: http://nyarc.org/content/jstor-auction-catalog-pilot-project on the freshly released version of the NYARC web site.
Lily’s obviously done a lot of work putting together the NYARC site on its new Drupal platform and it looks great. The JSTOR pilot, if it grows into a full-scale effort, has the potential to make a significant impact on art historical and provenance research.
