How TFAO uses the National Calendar of Exhibitions

Early in each month of the current year TFAO reviews the calendar for all of the listed exhibition openings for the prior month. TFAO checks it's list of published exhibition articles and essays in the sub-index page for each related museum to determine if Resource Library has already published an article or essay concerning each calendar listing.

Then TFAO checks to see if similar articles have been published in Resource Library from other sources, and if further information is deemed to be desirable. Using TFAO's catalogs for guidance, TFAO concentrates on adding content where the body of knowledge previously published online is weakest.

If TFAO decides to seek information to enable texts and images to be published in Resource Library, TFAO sends by email a request for exhibition information to the source.

TFAO's page on submitting materials explains requirements for publishing a Resource Library article or essay for an exhibition.

TFAO sends requests after the end of the exhibition opening month to allow museums time to gather .jpg images and texts such as gallery guides, brochures or catalogues, exhibition wall panels and labels, as well as press releases.
