The following message has been posted to several listservers, please
forgive any duplication.
The Visual Resources Association has recently published the Directory
of AAT Users, Special Bulletin No.8. The directory contains over 260
entries of its international users. Types of institutions include
libraries, museums, archives, historical societies and visual
resource collections. It also details the range of material that is
housed in each collection. The Directory provides a means to
communicate with other institutions with similar holdings on how each
collection is using the Art and Architecture Thesaurus. The
directory contains indexes by personal name, organization name, and
organization type.
