Following a technical survey of its of historic frame collection, the Yale Center for British Art has catalogued its frames as extensively as its art collection, and now shares it with the world via web pages for human users as well as through machine readable formats (LIDO XML, CIDOC-CRM RDF) for data aggregators. This paper proposes a data management and dissemination strategy model that relies on data exchange protocols and Linked Open Data to ensure that our rich cultural knowledge can be reused by scholars and contributes to the study of frames and the British art in general.

Art and design libraries provide support for research, instruction and study through a multitude of resources, collections and spaces. Ranging from department-based collections to a corpus of materials located within main campus libraries, art and design librarianship varies by institution, and its mission and constituents. Librarians are responsible not only for identifying, selecting and gathering the most pertinent resources, but also for providing access to these materials and enabling discovery through enhanced records, catalogues, digital interfaces and, more often, direct instruction.

This essay investigates the pictorial practices used by Edmund Sharpe (1809–77) to visualize the evolution of English Gothic architecture. Examining his 1849 Treatise on the Rise and Progress of the Decorated Window Tracery in England, this essay emphasizes Sharpe’s singular approach to classifying architecture within the framework of debates about evolutionary descent in studies of natural and architectural history. This essay positions Sharpe’s Treatise in relation to works by naturalists such as Carl Linnaeus and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and alongside histories of medieval architecture by Thomas Rickman, Robert Willis, and Edward Augustus Freeman, to name a few. These examples help contextualize Sharpe’s new classification of English Gothic architecture within the context of images showing evolutionary descent and the typical in species.

In and out of prison most of his life,
\nAris Kindt [12] was known as a petty
\nthief prone to violence. Such a misery
\nwas Kindt that he was even banned
\nfrom his hometown of Leiden in South
\nHolland. In the winter of 1632, Kindt
\nwas back in a Holland prison for
\nassault and robbery, having been
\napprehended while stealing a man’s cloak [10]. Worse yet for the jailed
\nthief, the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons’
\nannual ‘‘anatomy lesson’’ was
\nfast approaching, and the Guild needed
\na body.
