Kit Herlihy
Coordinator for Cataloging

Responsibilities:

Provide Cal State San Marcos students, faculty and staff access to all library resources -- for example, books, videos, electronic resources, journals, slides -- that support the curriculum.

Research

I am creating a database, Circle's Edge, to centralize access to manuscripts pertaining to the artists who assigned themselves the responsibility for creating a unique American aesthetic in the first half of the 20th century. The artists included Georgia O'Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand. Circle's Edge puts particular emphasis on the people around these artists -- such as Rebecca Salsbury James. She was a friend of both Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz; Paul Strand was her first husband. She introduced them all to the artistic colony in Taos, New Mexico.
