Resource Library: Submitting Materials

The big picture

Traditional Fine Arts Organization (TFAO) places, through its online publication Resource Library, texts and images relating to American representational art that are not otherwise freely available on other sites.

All Resource Library texts and images are published online -- without charge to the public -- on a permanent basis, subject to Resource Library's policy on errors and omissions.

In its unique content pages, references and links are made to topical information from books, journals and magazines, online videos, DVD/VHS videos, online audio, illustrated audio, and other information from TFAO's catalogues for further study.

Articles and essays from named authors

Through Resource Library, TFAO offers a complimentary online publishing service to copyright holders of texts previously printed on paper. TFAO also welcomes articles and essays -- not previously published on paper or online -- for first publication in Resource Library. Pages on scholarly texts from institutions and scholarly text from private sources describe benefits to both the public and sources of content. Resource Library does not charge copyright holders to publish texts and offers the texts for online reading free of charge. The texts may be "in copyright" or with expired copyrights and may be "in print" or out-of-print. For a listing of published authors, please see the Author Study and Index.

Publicity articles with related texts and images

Resource Library also publishes online publicity materials with related texts and images from institutional sources. In some instances Resource Library publishes for an exhibit many associated texts plus editor's notes with information excerpted from TFAO's catalogues.

An example of an article combined with a related essay is Georgia O'Keeffe and the Camera: The Art of Identity (7/5/08) accompanied by "Miss O'Keeffe" - Photography and Fame; essay by Susan Danly (7/5/08). More examples of articles and essays are available at the Chronology of Articles of Essays.
