The Catalogue of Canadian Art on CD-ROM at the National Gallery of Canada
نویسنده
چکیده
As stated in its mission, "the strength of the National Gallery of Canada lies in its collection of art, especially Canadian art, and its accessibility to the public across the country." Founded in 1880, the National Gallery of Canada now includes over 42,000 objects of fine and decorative art, of which only a small proportion is shown either in permanent installations or temporary exhibitions. Following the practice of major international institutions, the National Gallery of Canada recognized the need to make its permanent collection known to scholars, museum curators and the public at large by publishing catalogues. From the first check list printed in 1882, these catalogues have evolved over the years into sets of illustrated volumes as the collection grew and as the practice of art history changed.
