Dear Bemis Center!
Well I am curious about your center. I am an American living in Vienna Austria and amongst other things an avid book collector. I am especially interested in Museum catalogs. I have about 7000 or so, but the inputting is going rather slow (how did you manage over 1000 in one month). In LibraryThing I am recording the museums where the objects come from as well as where they are being exhibited (of course not all). I am standardizing the museum and gallery names with the most recent one (Google helps here)- with see references from older names. This is particularly important in Europe where the museums have been discarding their traditional names (some with colonial connotations).
I am interested in your library - what is its connection. I would also be very interested in any comments you would have about mine. Also, I am planning to exchange duplicates of my catalogs next year (I have several hundred - maybe we could trade some).
I have only been to Omaha once, at 19, while hitch-hiking across America. A nice family took me in for a week and even loaned me their car! I am now 67 - maybe I can get back to Omaha one day.

Greetings from Vienna,

P.S. I have an office in the Hofburg (winter palace of the Emperor). If you can get to Vienna...
