ABSTRACT: Celebrating such milestones as the 25th anniversary of ARLIS/NA causes us to take pride in our organization's accomplishments, but it also presents us with responsibilities and opportunities. One of them is to examine our history before documentation is lost, we retire, or we forget. ARLIS/NA began to examine aspects of our history in the paper on George Wittenborn at the 1996 conference in Miami Beach. Few people have, however, studied the founders of or early librarians in our art libraries. The speakers in this panel will address who some of these individuals were; what motivated them to develop art collections and libraries; how they have evolved over time; and the historic, cultural or personal factors that have driven that evolution. The co-moderators hope that this session will encourage other ARLIS/NA members to plan similar sessions, preserve relevant documents in their own institutions, conduct oral histories, and publish the results of their research to educate ourselves and promote our profession.
