Topics featured: new AAT Candidate Term Program; MARC format, focusing on subject fields and a review of recent MARBI decisions affecting MARC.

TOUR C: PALM BEACH DAY TRIP (Meet at front entrance of hotel and board bus at 7:30 am; bus departs promptly at 8:00 am.) Participants will enjoy an exciting and educational day in beautiful and historic Palm Beach. A local Palm Beach historian will accompany the group to point out "architectural highlights" of this area. Palm Beach is located directly on the ocean and still retains its image as one of the world's most distinctive resorts, hosting the largest concentration of famous celebrities, politicians, and business moguls anywhere. The homes are grand, the beaches are beautiful, and the restaurants and shops are unequaled. First stop on this historic tour will be the Hibel Museum of Art. This one-of-a-kind public museum, dedicated to Edna Hibel, was established in 1977 and displays over 500 pieces of art, including sculptures, paintings, and lithographs. Edna Hibel was born in 1917 and studied art at the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The second stop on the tour is the Norton Gallery, one of the nation's leading small museums. The Norton's collection includes works of art by the European impressionists. The collection also features the works of such artists as Gaugin, Cezanne, Monet, Picasso, O'Keefe and many others. The final stop is the Henry M. Flagler Museum, Whitehall Mansion. Today's visitors see this American palace much as it was when the Flaglers lived there. Many of the original furnishings have been returned and the rooms have been carefully restored to reflect the opulence of a bygone era. Henry Morrison Flagler, 1830-1913, was a founder of the Standard Oil Company with John D. Rockefeller. He became interested in Florida in the 1880s and by the time of his death had singlehandedly developed the entire east coast of the state, built a railroad from Jacksonville to Key West, and established St. Augustine, Daytona, Palm Beach and Miami as famous resorts. Whitehall is the magnificent mansion that Mr. Flagler built for his wife Mary in 1901. Sold by heirs in 1925, the building and its tower addition served as a luxury hotel until 1959. The Henry Flagler Museum opened to the public in 1960 after being acquired and restored by Mr. Flagler's granddaughter.

This area was rapidly developed during the 1930s, leading to a concentration of buildings with similar styles, setback and scale.

MEMBERSHIP LUNCHEON (Preregistration required.) Speaker: Vivian Donnell Rodriguez, Executive Director, Metro-Dade Art in Public Places "Public Art: Defining a Sense of Place" Public art has evolved in the last two decades into a distinct discipline which seeks to give voice to the vocabulary of the visual artist in the development of public space. Intrinsic to that process is the emergance of artists as collaborators with architects, engineers, landscape artists, and other non-traditional partners in the creation of public art that defines public space / public place within the context of local culture, demographics and the aspirations of a community for itself. Ms. Rodriguez will illustrate with projects completed by Metro-Dade Art in Public Places how several public art installations have partnered artists with community groups in a process of community-based art making which have reflected and celebrated that which is unique about South Florida and its diverse populations. Results of this process have been a variety of artistic responses in many media which define a sense of place and which are a source of civic pride.

Projects to be discussed include the RLG Art and Architecture Group's "Inaccessible Domain" Materials Working Group proposal for a minimum-level cataloging record for collections, the RLG Archives and Manuscripts Task Force on Standards, the Library of Congress' proposed policy for collection- level cataloging, the Visual Resource Association Data Standards Committee proposal for core-level description of visual materials, and the Getty Art Information Task Force's definition of key elements in describing works of art.

The tour begins with breakfast followed by a comprehensive tour of the nation's youngest historic district. With 800 plus buildings, the square mile Art Deco district is the only 20th century historic area listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This area was rapidly developed during the 1930s, leading to a concentration of buildings with similar styles, setback and scale. The most notable change in the area is the blooming of pastel colors on the facades of buildings throughout the district. The Deco area has become a haven for television commercials, film-making and photographers.
