To Whom it may concern, I was given this email address by Brigid Brink at the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. I hope you can help me with the research that I am doing for the Director and Curator of the McMaster Museum of Art in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. My question: Is there an American organization that has produced statistics on the workings of major college art museums in the U.S. that are situated in cities where there are also large civic or state galleries? We are wondering if there is any information available on this subject, e.g., if this causes a duplication, or has any effect on attendance. Perhaps you would be able to forward me to an organization that might be able to help. Also, I was hoping to contact a group called "American Art Museum Directors Organization" in New York, but I haven't been able to locate a contact number. Could you assist me? Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can provide. Sincerely, Zora McLachlan Director's Assistant McMaster Museum of Art McMaster University Alvin A.
