Abstract
- The article highlights a co-sponsored session during the meeting of the College Art Association of America that was held in Washington, D.C. on February 23, 1991. It was not initiated by the Art Libraries Society of North America. The session entitled "Seeing Yourself Historically: The Importance of Self-Documentation in the Visual Arts," was conceptualized by Camille Billops, a filmmaker and sculptor who is co-director of the Hatch-Billops Collection: Archives of Black American Cultural History. The session was opened by Billops by stating that the panel would explore the significance of preserving primary research materials as well as their role in the writing and documentation of events in art history. Other speakers during the session were Linda Hamalian, Eric Cameron and James R. Behlke. Billops closed the session with reference to the taped oral histories in the Hatch-Billops Collection, and to the publication "Artist and Influence."
