Initially discovered at SCD... (http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/metropolitan-museum-of-art-digitizing-burdick-collection/)
The Burdick collection is apparently going to be photographed and made available for online viewing according to a recent New York Magazine interview with Freyda Spira, assistant curator of the museum's Department of Drawings and Prints.

Regarding the collection...
The hope is to get them all photographed and online. It’s a project we’re working on now, so that there could be a virtual collection on the museum website.
That’s a pretty big project. How long will that take?
It’s a three-year project.
