I had a lovely chat with warm and welcoming Erica, who has been with the Biennale Archives since 1993. Her role includes cataloguing, the title exchange program, and managing the editorial archive for Venice Biennale publications. </div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
She was kind enough to take a time away from the (lets face it- ubiquitous, never-ending, Sisyphean) cataloguing at hand to take me through some of their processes. I loved that her desk and cataloguing tasks were here, in an open plan office situated <i>on</i> the library floor (albeit in one of the many nooks of the library), streaming natural light upon her work. All too often cataloguing is a backroom, ghettoised task. Out here, you can at least be pestered by curious art library bloggers and other reprobates.</div>

Once housed in a Venetian palace, the Venice Biennale's<a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/asac/" target="_blank"> Historical Archives of Contemporary Arts </a>opened this Library facility deep in the Biennale's <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/venues/central_pavilion.html" target="_blank">Central Pavilion</a> (located in the sprawling<a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/art/venues/giardini.html?back=true" target="_blank"> Giardini</a>) in 2010. Slashed with vivid red, the bold sprawl of this space aggregates many nooks, mezzanines and this breathtaking hall of print within which lectures and screenings take place.<br />

They use SBN, the National catalogue system (<a href="http://conference.ifla.org/past/2009/77-contardi-en.pdf" target="_blank">here is an IFLA conference paper on this library system</a>), and have implemented various call number tweaks. Collection is organised by field (art, film theatre etc) and by name. Identifiers like T (theatre) and S (storia/history) are on the spines. Titles are also arranged by dimensions: over and under 100 pages, then by spine size. Here is a slightly clumsy Google translation to English about ASAC Biennale's (the Historical Archives of Contemporary Arts) directives, databases and etc:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"ASACdati is a data base for the unified management of all the information on funds held by the Historical Archives of Contemporary Arts Foundation La Biennale di Venezia, and all the activities and events planned by the Foundation from 1895 to the present. Has as its objectives the visibility and accessibility of the collections, continually increasing, and their management and archival organisation, in addition to the collection of news about the Biennale and its manifestations .</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
ASACdati, as part of the reorganisation of the Archives, was launched in late 2004, in collaboration with 3DEverywhere srl, a spin -off of the Laboratory of Multimedia Technology and Telecommunications Department of Information Engineering (DEI) of the University of Padua, which was conducted through analysis of the different types of data relating to funds, documents and information managed by ASAC.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Emerged from this study are similarities, differences and connections that bear witness to the great variety of objects and data collected. The strong interrelationship between the different funds and events, a characteristic that has always represented the added value of the Biennial and ASAC, has determined so the realisation of a peculiar and rich data base. It may make countless examples of these interrelationships , dates mainly from the fact that the same subjects have had in years had different functions.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The data base management plans made and then the interaction of all funds ASAC and many other bibliographic, cataloging, administrative, historical, scientific and technical related to the world of the Biennale and the arts.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To date [projects] have been carried out cards - along the lines ICCD - for the management of Art Collection; Fund Posters, Foteteca ; Mediatheque; also tabs to manage information about all the events organized by the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia : Architecture Visual Arts, Cinema, Dance, Music, Theatre . It was thus possible to start the work of inventorying, cataloging and partial digital reproduction of the different documents."</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="p1">
Personally, I prefer my databases "rich and peculiar".<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a non-lending library they aren't stuck with a regular stocktake, but do stocktake their rare collections. Which are impressive. Over 2000 biennale artworks are included dating back to 1895, as well a sizeable collection of photographs documenting the events. Film resources are stored off site on <a href="https://www.google.com.au/maps?t=m&ll=45.47596419999999%2C12.222719400000004&q=marghera&spn=0.040203929911925666%2C0.0764481364887227&output=classic&dg=opt" target="_blank">Marghera</a>, on the mainland across from Venice</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The Venice Biennale's Historical Archives of Contemporary Arts </span><span style="font-size: small;">collection closely mirrors the history and development of the Biennale itself. Founded in 1895, until 1930 the Biennale was Fine Arts specific, and so is the Library collection. In 1930, the Biennale event became independent from the local Venetian Government, and became dependant on the National Fascist government. After various allegiances, the Biennale became privatised and independent in 1998. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">In a surprisingly un-fascist turn of events, it was during the 1930s that many of the satellite events were added to the agenda and today the Biennale comprises several distinct festivals in <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/art/index.html" target="_blank">Art</a>, <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/architecture/index.html" target="_blank">Architecture</a>, <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/index.html" target="_blank">Cinema</a>, <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/dance/index.html" target="_blank">Dance</a>, <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/music/index.html" target="_blank">Music</a>, and <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/theatre/index.html" target="_blank">Theatre</a>.

<br />
The <a href="http://www.bibliothequeartistique.be/" target="_blank">Bibliothèque Artistique</a> is a unique library beast.<br />
Nestled deep within the <a href="http://www.arba-esa.be/fr/home.php" target="_blank">Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles</a> (Royal Academy of Fine Arts Brussels), it's collections have serviced the prestigious art school since 1711.<br />
A strange schism occurred in the 1973 however, when the library was officially absorbed into the public library system of Brussels. It essentially became a regular public library branch, albeit with a particular subject specialisation, and an incredible and uncatalogued rare book collection requiring an immense amount of Serious Library Work. This rare book collection remained the property of the Academy, but remained housed and protected by this Bibliotheque Artistique.<br />
Branch Librarian Christine Feron has been doing an incredible job with this unusual arrangement, juggling the responsibilities of a small public library service, and the daunting task of assessing, cataloguing and digitising their rare holdings, all with a staff of 2. That number includes Christine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY2E-pHHnlCE0fp10mG_fpNWs1kMryibfq_41DfvjpJXfr-MoGXYvmSW000-kwaCT3Runzy72kQOh_vzq7UHe0KBBhKRsXL8zuypFNgYYNRMEnyhpETO7z1vziSuZ-menTUdQPRygH99s/s1600/artistique+(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY2E-pHHnlCE0fp10mG_fpNWs1kMryibfq_41DfvjpJXfr-MoGXYvmSW000-kwaCT3Runzy72kQOh_vzq7UHe0KBBhKRsXL8zuypFNgYYNRMEnyhpETO7z1vziSuZ-menTUdQPRygH99s/s640/artistique+(6).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Upon the split, the Library chiefs and representatives of the Academy allocated autonomous care and responsibility of the 19th century collection (over 10,000 titles) to the library staff.<br />
Decision-making and management of the 17th and 18th century collection (about 400 titles) is shared by the Academy and the Library.<br />
The collaboration is working well, and since 2002 Christine and her small team (one other coworker and the occasional intern) have catalogued nearly 5000 titles from the impressive 19th century collection of folios.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897235983335730996.post-39299324551973549952013-02-05T19:59:00.001-08:002013-02-05T19:59:46.953-08:00Bibliothèque Artistique: old pages<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
