2018 - BC ARTISTS - THE YEAR IN REVIEW
|
Work proceeded in fits and starts in 2018 - a binge of information
entering, then two or three months off, then some research, and
another binge of additions, finishing off the year with a week of
work over the holidays. In total, a significant amount of information was added this year: 286 new web pages were created, an increase of over 10% to 2,894. 103 new images were added, an increase of 20% to 610. 750 artists were added to the index, an increase of 4% to 18,874. 130 artist biographies were created, an increase of 9% to 1,581. 3,260 cross-references were added, an increase of 10%. 1,500 artworks were listed from 34 transcribed catalogues, an increase of 15%. The continuing emphasis for input to BC ARTISTS is the collecting and recording of information for the period prior to 1950. Information from 1950 to the present day is added as time permits and when interesting documents are acquired. |
