Thomas J. Watson Library Rare Materials and the Paper Legacy Project
2019

click here to explore the collection.


“This collection contains rare, valuable, and important works held in the Thomas J. Watson Library and other curatorial department libraries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art ... In 2018, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Thomas J. Watson Library established the Paper Legacy study collection: a collecting initiative to document the work and histories of prominent professional American decorative paper artists active from the late 1960s to the present.” - Thomas J. Watson Library website



As the 2019/2020 Library Technical Services Fellow for the Thomas J. Watson Library, my work focused on aspects of art librarianship with regards to CONTENTdm collections. CONTENTdm is a digital asset management system (DAMS) run by Online Computer Library System, a nonprofit cooperative organization "that provides shared technology services, original research, and community programs for its membership and the library community at large."11 My work within Watson’s collections was creating a metadata crosswalk between the Metropolitan Museum’s DAMS, NetX, and Watson’s CONTENTdm with regards to special collection exhibition views.

As the fellowship continued, I took on another project with the Head of Book Conservation, Mindell Dubansky, digitizing the Paper Legacy Project, a collecting initiative to document the work and histories of prominent professional American decorative paper artists active from the late 1960s to the present.1 In addition to digitization efforts, I populated appropriate metadata in order to publish the collections on CONTENTdm. In 2022, the Grolier Club mounted an exhbition entitled Pattern and Flow: A Golden Age of American Decorated Paper, 1960s-2000s
