Thanks for thanks, Linda. As one archivist to another, you were a pleasure to work with. And it is an honor for me too. Love the “Paper crumbles but pixels never die” quote!!
Thank you so much for including me in your blog. It is an honor to be among these talented people, some with whom I was acquainted and had some working relationships. What a trip to have witnessed some of these great artists as they created. As an archivist, I appreciate what you are doing to preserve an accurate and articulate archive of the great beauty artists of all time. I believe once something is documented on the Internet it will indeed live on. “Paper crumbles but pixels never die.”
