The Society of the Cincinnati welcomes attendees of the ARLIS/NA Washington conference for a special tour of our library and museum. The Society of the Cincinnati was founded at the close of the Revolutionary War by the officers of the Continental Army and their French counterparts who had fought together in struggle for American independence. Perpetuated by the descendants of the original officers, the Society is today a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of the American Revolution. The Society maintains a special collections library and museum at its headquarters, Anderson House, a Beaux-Arts mansion that was formerly the home of a member. On view in the library will be treasures from the vault, including George Washington’s copy of Benjamin West’s A Discourse, Delivered to the Students of the Royal Academy (London, 1793) and Pierre L’Enfant’s original drawings for the insignia of the Society. There will also be a guided tour of the first and second floors of Anderson House, which showcase the rich collections of art and artifacts assembled by Larz and Isabel Anderson during the first third of the twentieth century. Also on view is the Society current special exhibition, "The Reward of Patriotism": Commemorating America’s Heroes of the War of 1812.

The National Gallery of Art was conceived and given to the people of the United States by financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. In 1936 Mellon wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt offering to donate his superb art collection for a new museum and to use his own funds to construct a building for its use. With the president’s support, Congress accepted Mellon’s gift, which included a sizable endowment, and established the National Gallery of Art in March 1937.
The state-of-the art Imaging and Visual Resources painting studio brings the National Gallery of Art's collection to the world. Using a motorized easel and advanced computer controls, The Department of Visual Imaging captures images of paintings in precise sections – with accuracy within five hundredths of an inch. The image sections are merged into an ultra high resolution digital composite that provides extraordinary detail revealing small brushstrokes and hairline cracks which are hard to see even in our galleries. These images are currently featured in the Google Art project, the Gallery’s website, and NGA Images, a leading museum open access web resource. NGA Images contains more than 35,000 high-resolution publication-ready digital images free of charge for immediate download and any use. The tour will last about 45 minutes after which additional time is allotted for browsing the museum galleries and shops. Visit images.nga.gov for a preview.

Returning for an eighth year, the New Voices in the Profession panel provides new Art Librarianship and Visual Resources professionals the opportunity to present topics from exceptional coursework, such as a master's thesis, or topics with which they are engaged early in their professional life.
