Dear Colleagues,
we have now made the updated version of the
bibliography accesible on a *hidden* page on our homepage under : www.prevart.ch/biblio.htm .
We are now at slightly more than 180 titles, and we have also realized, that in
the first version, the comments have been cut off after 214 characters... we
hope that this time, you will be able to see all of it.
We will leave this bibliography online until end of
March 2001 for donwload, after that date we will remove this page from our
homepage.
Further hints are still welcome, as well as special
requests if you are researching a certain area.
In general, turnout of help from all of you was
rather small (only three contributions with a total of 8 titles)... We
have been discussing this phaenomenon amongst the Swiss Textile conservators, as
the reasons might be relevant for further "joint-effort-projects" suggested by
Jenny Barnett in Amsterdam. One reason might have been, that people were
completely overwhelmed by the mass of over 130 already existing entries and
therefore thought, they could certainly not help anymore. It, however, turned
out, that I had forgotten some titles, some of you have published, and it went
unnoticed by these authors.... The reason why I made the first 130 titles
accessible was to prevent you from thinking that I was just lazy and hoping
you would do the work for me. I also did not want you to have to enter titles
already known to me (to save your time). But obviously this strategy was in some
ways contra-productive. I therefore welcome any comments on whether this kind of
jont-effort-project is appreciated, on reasons why it did not (yet?) work as
expected / hoped for, etc.
Thanks to those who actively contributed to this
"pilote" project!
Sincerely, Karin von Lerber
