1.04 linear feet
(3 boxes)
Scope and Content Note
Records consist of meeting minutes of the Getty Publications office dating 1988-1991, meeting minutes and agendas of the Editorial
Committee dating 1988-1998, and meeting minutes, agendas, meeting notes, and related memoranda of the Publications Department
and the Getty Conservation Institutue, dating 1993-1998, of the J. Paul Getty Museum, J. Paul Getty Trust. The Publications
minutes (1988-1991) discuss specific publication projects as well as analysis of sales and administrative matters such as
topics for meeting agenda, damaged inventory, and budgets. The Editorial Committee records (1988-1998) encompass primarily
meeting minutes, but also include two memoranda in regard to the Lanier Graham proposal of an exhibition of Degas prints.
The meeting minutes of the Editorial Committee are similar in content to those of Publications, discussing specific publications
(often many of the same publications as discussed in the Publications minutes), but the majority of the minutes discuss idea
and development proposals submitted to the Committee, including a proposal for the
GRI Journal. The Editorial Committee agendas include full book project development proposals and recommendations.

The records are arranged primarily in chronological order.
