Mr. Shelton wrote to TFAO: "I collect miniature portraits, especially American ones. The overall collection is titled "Artists and Ancestors". There are over 300 American miniature portraits in the American section of the collection and they are illustrated and "published" on my website which has a home page at www.portrait-miniature.blogspot.com together with comprehensive research notes. I believe it to be one of the larger private collections of American miniatures in existence."

Sullivan Goss - An American Gallery in Santa Barbara, CA (805-730-1460) conducts the American Artists Monograph Project, through the efforts of college interns. Frank Goss, owner of the gallery, said to TFAO in October 2007 "We started this about 8 years ago with three interns per quarter and now we have between 8-10 interns per quarter. We assign them American artists that we think were important, but for whom there is not a good monograph. We look for artists who contributed significantly to the development of American Art, but about whom there is no single book as a reference. This gives these interns an opportunity to do primary research. They work with exhibition catalogues, magazines, newspaper and they interview the descendants of the artists. We have had students from Princeton, Tulane, and Duke in the program, but for the most part the young art historians come from our two local schools UCSB and Westmont College." Danielle Peltakian is the program director. Target essay length is 2,500 words. Instead of listing the numerous monographs from the AAMP in this catalog, TFAO suggests readers click here for painters, here for watercolorists. Other lists are available on the Sullivan Goss - An American Gallery website. Another way to access relevant essays is to use the alphabetical index for the Distinguished Artist Series or Search the TFAO Website
