# Art & Architecture Group Started in 1979 by 10 North American universities and museum libraries within RLG, the Art & Architecture Group (AAG) counted more than 80 institutions worldwide among its constituents. The remarkable strength of their combined collections and their commitment to collaborative solutions helped to make RLG databases an unparalleled resource for art-related bibliographic research. The AAG provided an early and productive model of how art and architecture institutions could share resources and expertise in an online environment. Over its lifetime the group focused on art-specific projects within RLG, including: Building SCIPIO, a database of art and rare book sales catalogs. Establishing an art and museum libraries "trading partnership" within the larger RLG SHARES interlending program. Coordinating collection development and cataloging efforts, as in the art-related monographic series cooperative cataloging project (see below). Participating in the Art Serials Preservation Project to create microfilming that was available to the larger community. Appointing the working group for the "Inaccessible Domain" Materials project—which led to a new bibliographic standard for aggregations of unique research materials. The AAG Steering Committee coordinated the group's activities with input from all participants and annual meetings held in conjunction with the annual conference of their primary professional association, the Art Libraries Society of North America. Reports from the last ten years of AAG annual meetings provide snapshots of the group's priorities and RLG progress: [these are all past events, I'm pretty sure] [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=396"] Houston 2005 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=17062"] New York 2004 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=7521"] Baltimore 2003 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=37"] St Louis 2002 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=21"] Los Angeles 2001 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=36"] Pittsburgh 2000 [ link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=44"] Vancouver 1999 [ link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=43"] Philadelphia 1998 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=42"] San Antonio 1997 [link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=41"] Miami Beach 1996 [ link "/en/page.php?Page_ID=40" Montreal 1995 ## Steering committee rosters The Art & Architecture Group Steering Committee comprised six members from the larger group together with an RLG program officer acting as liaison for art-related activities and initiatives. 2004-2005 (final year) Stephen Bury, British Library; Mary Elings,UC Berkeley, Bancroft Library; C.

These members selected titles they received regularly and committed to creating bibliographic records using RLIN® within a month of receipt. Twenty-one libraries committed to cataloging a total of 60 titles out of 87 that were identified. This bounded cooperative effort helped to ensure that new materials were cataloged in a timely fashion, divided the cataloging effort among members, and resulted in more art-related cataloging copy in the RLG Union Catalog.
