Carolyn,

The foundation that I work for is developing a small independent art
reference library and museum, concentrating on 19th century French
painting--concentrating on the Barbizon School and the 19th century
"realist" painters.

I am new to this list, and an Internet novice. I have begun visiting web
sites for museums and found a few of interest, but I must be very clumsy at
it since I have not found much of substance. Admittedly, my interest is in
art museums and not many museums have their collections digitized and
available--or am I mistaken.

Your museum-related "Bookmarks" on your Internet browser are, I assume, your
main asset in doing searches. I have seen several individuals who provide
their Bookmarks to those who vistit their personal or professional web
sites. I wonder if you have anything like this for your museum
searches/access which you could share with me? Please do not bother to reply
if your search-system is proprietary or otherwise not suitable for sharing
or if, for any reason, replying would involve an inordinate effort.

Mark
