Directory of J.R. Burdick Collection at MOMA
 

While I've seen a number of editions of the ACC, I have only run across this one directory of Burdick's collection at the Metropolitan Museum. It has the same typeset as the ACC I have and is 26 pages. Not many baseball card illustrations.

It doesn't have a date of publication but would seem to be published in the mid-60s as it notes Burdick's passing in 1963.

I have the same pamphlet, which I picked up at the museum, and it is certainly lacking in specific information.

And MOMA is the Museum of Modern Art, while the Burdick collection is at the Metropolitan Museum.

i believe have one too...and i remember how disappointed i was with the contents when i received it!

Peter- when you visit the Burdick Collection, assuming you can get an appointment, they give you that pamphlet and ask you which volumes you want to see. It's actually pretty tough to pick out all the right ones as there is great material that you can't find using the pamphlet alone. It was pretty frustrating and I'm sure there is stuff that I've missed, even though I've seen the collection several different times. You get the feeling that the Burdick Collection is not the same priority to them as it is to us.:(

Yipes. Weder = Philistine. Will edit so future generations don't suffer the same fate as I. Or is it "as me". :confused:

um
 

nevermind

The pamphlet breaks down the storage on the collection; if you know ACC numbers you can use the pamphlet to tell the reference librarians what albums to pull and bring to you
