Federal legislation calls for the Library to work jointly with the Secretary of Commerce, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the National Archives and Records Administration.

How will libraries and other repositories classify this information so that their patrons can find it with the same ease that they can locate a book on a shelf?"

The Evolution of the American Conservation Movement, 1850-1920 - The development of a conservation ethic in the United States was (and is) a process that displayed a great deal of heterogeneity, and to a certain extent, a good deal of contentious debate about what might be done to conserve natural resources and landscapes throughout the country. Some of the phenomena that manifested themselves during this period included a perceived crisis in American national identity and purpose, expressions of anti-urbanism, and the growth of travel literature. All of these subjects (and quite a few more) are explored within this fine documentary archive of materials developed by the American Memory group at the Library of Congress. In total, the archive contains 62 books and pamphlets, 140 Federal statutes and Congressional resolutions, various Presidential proclamations, 170 prints and photographs, and 2 motion pictures. The collection can be searched by keywords, or users may elect to browse an index of subjects, authors, or document titles.

Museums and the Online Archive of California - (MOAC) - Almost 150,000 images of searchable historical and cultural materials from 11 public and private museums in California.

With just 5 percent to 7 percent of U.S. museum collections on exhibit at any time, online museums can provide access to pieces that are rarely or never displayed and also allow researchers and art lovers from around the world to see works that they otherwise would have to travel to see, said Able. "I have a dream when all museum collections will be completely digitized to be available and accessible to be brought into any home or classroom at the click of a mouse," he said. "We will really then begin to achieve the potential of museums." The site is funded through the University of California and federal grants.

La Fayette: Database of American Art, The Louvre - "In the 1880s, American artists began to live and work in artist's colonies located outside French urban centers. Inspired by the example of French Impressionists, some chose to work in the new suburban leisure centers near the perimeter of Paris such as Giverny, where Claude Monet had settled in 1883. American artists who moved to Giverny included John Singer Sargent, Frederick MacMonnies, Willard Metcalf, Lila Cabot Perry, and Theodore Robinson. Other artists congregated in coastal villages like Etaples and Brest in the north or Collioures in the south. The popularity of these picturesque regions was partly dictated by the popularity of the Impressionist style, which valued the spontaneous effects created by outdoor painting . . . . The American artists who lived and worked in France developed a network of lasting relationships with French artists and collectors. Some of these liaisons were economic, as American patrons and collectors began to exert a stronger influence on the Parisian art world. Paul Burty Haviland, grandson of the American founder of the Limoges porcelain firm, was a painter as well as a reliable patron to artists like Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani. . . . . This bilingual online catalogue presents more than 1,700 works produced by United States artists that entered the national collections of France before 1940 . . . . These artworks have been drawn from public collections all over France." - (Learn about the Artists' Colonies, Patronage Networks, Artistic Training in Paris, and more)
