Kind of a 'Huh' nr6 - Symposium Keynote

Over the past two years, the library of Middelheim Museum created metadata of its publications about/with/by artists and invested in increasing access to the content, container (the paper object) and context, with the support of the Flemish Government. Project partner ArchiVolt, research group at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, selected 1800 artists’ publications from the library collection and drafted a user’s guide. In a network of library and museum partners we shared practices on the collection management and use of artist’s publications.
