Historical exhibitions #213

Open edgartdata opened 4 years ago

@EdwardTown1 @flapka Consider this a placeholder for future project on historical exhibitions. In other words, would there be value in documenting in TMS past exhibitions YCBA objects have been in before the YCBA was created? This would require the creation of new TMS exhibition records but we could think of ways to do that that would not burden the registrars and leverage their information on this, if they have some.

@edgartdata @EdwardTown1 Yes, there could be value. For RB, the major example that comes to mind is an exhibition at the Grolier Club (in 1968) featuring early printed books from Mellon's library, most of which are now at the Center (see this catalog).

This would definitely be of scholarly use -- many catalogue raisonnes and some exhibition catalogues compile this for objects. Many of these historical exhibitions are already being documented in the bibliography module of TMS.

If implemented, would we want to display historical exhibitions differently than YCBA exhibitions? Or would they file in the same sequence?
