Administrative History

The Standards and Research Projects Program was a department within the Getty Information Institute (GII). GII was the name given to the Getty Art History Information Program (AHIP) when AHIP was renamed in 1996. During the 1980s, as personal computers became tools for scholarly research, AHIP pioneered research on the informational needs of art historians and was the driving force behind several collaborative projects concerning art-related texts and images that provided unprecedented automation of, digitization of, and access to these types of materials. During the 1990s, as the Internet and the World Wide Web became accessible to an increasing number of people, AHIP / GII played dynamic roles in several collaborative initiatives to standardize data management practices and to establish electronic networks that would bring together the resources of diverse cultural institutions.
The GII worked to enhance worldwide access to cultural information by means of computer technology. The GII conducted advanced research, created electronic databases of scholarly information, and undertook technical demonstration projects. The GII was a bridge between the worlds of humanities scholarship and information technology. In collaboration with institutes in the Americas and overseas, the Institute worked to preserve cultural heritage information and ensure that it remained accessible on the electronic networks of the future. The Standards and Research Projects Program and its predecessors were responsible for the programming and production of AHIP / GII's electronic projects and initiatives and the oversight of the Getty Vocabulary Coordination Group.
The Scholarly Information Development Program (circa 1986-1990) was one of the original departments of AHIP. The department was first renamed Information Standards and Services (1990-1993) and ultimately renamed Standards and Research Projects (1993-1998). These name changes reflect evolving trends in professional terminology and only a slight shift in the department's focus; the responsibilities and function of the department remained relatively constant and there was continuity of much of the staff through the program's various iterations. Standards and Research Projects and its predecessors managed AHIP / GII's projects, systems managers, analysts, and programmers; set timetables and oversaw the preparation and dissemination of data from AHIP / GII standards projects; and engaged in collaborative efforts with other institutions.
Some of the notable projects undertaken by Standards and Research Projects and its predecessors include:
  • The Répertoire international de la littérature de l'art (RILA), a bibliographical system that indexed and abstracted art historical literature that was first based at the Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts and was acquired by the Getty in 1982;
  • The Avery Index of Architectural Periodicals, a bibliographical system that indexed periodical literature in the history of architecture, was originally based at the Avery Library of Columbia University, and was acquired by AHIP in 1984;
  • The Architectural Drawings Advisory Group (ADAG), a consortium of some twelve worldwide repositories of architectural drawings that was based in Washington, D.C. at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Arts and was charged with developing a standard format for cataloging architectural drawings;
  • The Provenance Index, a database that was designed to trace the custodial history of western European works of art from the late 16th century to the early 20th century by indexing transcriptions of material from auction catalogs and archival inventories (it evolved into the Getty Provenance Index® databases);
  • The Witt Library Index, a collaborative venture with the Courtauld Institute (London) that endeavored to electronically link images from the Witt Library with the descriptive information related to each item;
  • The Census of Antique Art and Architecture Known to the Renaissance, which began in 1946 as a file of text and images in the Warburg Institute of London, was expanded by the Bibliotheca Hertziana (Rome) in 1982, and whose automation was sponsored by the Getty in 1984;
  • The Art and Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT), a database of standardized vocabulary that was designed in the 1970s to merge redundant and contradictory subject headings from various controlled vocabularies related to the description of objects and monuments and was acquired by the Getty in 1983.
The Getty Art History Information Program (AHIP) was a program developed and overseen by the J. Paul Getty Trust, a cultural and philanthropic organization serving both general audiences and specialized professionals. The Trust is a not-for-profit institution, educational in purpose and character, that focuses on the visual arts in all of their dimensions. AHIP's name was changed to the Getty Information Institute (GII) in 1996 as part of a new identity program instituted by the Trust just prior to occupancy of their new unified facility, the Getty Center (Brentwood, California). The GII was dissolved in 1999, and many of its functions were absorbed by the Getty Research Institute (GRI). As of 2010 the Trust supports and oversees four programs: the J. Paul Getty Museum; the Getty Foundation; the Getty Conservation Institute; and the Getty Research Institute, which, among other things, continues the work begun by AHIP / GII.

Series II. Program manager records of Eleanor Fink, 1980-1994 (bulk 1988-1990)

Physical Description: 11.2 Linear Feet (17 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise records created and/or maintained by Eleanor Fink during her service as program manager (1990-1993) of the Getty Art History Information Program's Information Standards and Services Program (ISS). Prior to her employment as program manager, Fink was project manager for the Getty Vocabulary Coordination Group, a department overseen by the Scholarly Information Development Program. Files herein that pre-date Fink's service as program manager represent 1) legacy files that she inherited from her predecessor, John Logan, or 2) the continuity of projects or committee work in which she was previously engaged and continued to participate. Although Fink had been named acting program manager of AHIP by fall of 1993, she continued to maintain some records for ISS through 1994 during the transition between ISS program managers. The materials date from 1980 to 1994 and include administrative files, correspondence, memoranda, reports, project files, proposals, meeting minutes, and subject files on the various organizations and committees with which she worked.
Administrative files comprise Fink's records on ISS and its predecessor, the Scholarly Information Development Program (SID), including files related to internal Getty committees, general AHIP issues, and other AHIP programs and departments. Records also include reports from the Vocabulary Coordination Group, which was a department under the administration of SID / ISS.
Project files comprise Fink's files on projects, initiatives, working groups, committees, and other types of external collaboration in which AHIP was engaged. A few of the files concern projects or collaborations that were under consideration and may not have come to fruition, but the majority of the records are related to projects that flourished and evolved into scholarly resources that are still in use. The materials include seminal records on projects such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT), the Architectural Drawings Advisory Group / Foundation for Documents of Architecture (ADAG / FDA), the Avery Index, the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA), the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance, the Institute for Research on Information and Scholarship (IRIS), the Witt Library Index, the Thesaurus Artis Universalis (TAU), the Getty Provenance Index®, the Répertoire international de la littérature de l'art (RILA), and others. Materials include correspondence, meeting notes, agreements, general notes, and reports.
Conference, organization, and committee files comprise subject files on external conferences, committees, roundtables, and working groups in which Fink participated, as well as files on organizations with which she interacted or collaborated on behalf of the Getty.

Scope and Content Note

Records comprise Information Standards and Services program manager Eleanor Fink's files on projects, initiatives, working groups, committees, and other types of external collaboration in which the Getty Art History Program (AHIP) was engaged. A few of the files concern projects or collaborations that were under consideration and may not have come to fruition, but the majority of the records are related to projects that flourished and evolved into scholarly resources that are still in use. The materials include records on working groups and projects such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT), the Architectural Drawings Advisory Group /Foundation for Documents of Architecture (ADAG/FDA), the Art Information Task Force (AITF), the Avery Index, the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA), the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance, the Witt Library Index, the Répertoire international de la littérature de l'art (RILA), and others. Materials date from 1986 to 1994 and include correspondence, meeting notes, agreements, general notes, and reports.
