Mr. Burdick's Collection at the Met!

[autograf]

going to NYC next week and planning on visiting Burdick collection. I have an appointment I believe to see some of the actual binders. Will let you know how (if) it goes.

There are tons of pictures in that digitized Met site. I went down the rabbit hole for a few hours a couple times on that site..........still a lot unscanned or missing but there's tons of great stuff there..........sports and nonsports.......

So you can't make an appointment to view it anymore? That's so sad. I did so in the late 1989 on a class trip to NYC. Guard stayed in the room with me the whole time. It was amazing.

How did you get the appointment Tom? If you say you are doing research will they let you see it?

Barry......I used Bob Forbes' protocol and called the prints room where the collection resides. And it does have to be some valid research purpose I guess. I've corresponded with the girl a couple times and I think I'm in but will update if I made it through the super secret handshake upon arrival...........
