UPCOMING EXHIBITION: Creating the Collection—Treasures & Stories from the Ashbery Resource Center, OPENS MAY 11th
An ?Kick Off Event on May 11th at 3pm at the Ashbery Resource Center!
Creating the Collection — Treasures & Stories from the Ashbery Resource Center
An Exhibition at the Flow Chart Space (348 Warren Street, Hudson, NY)
Opening Event Conversation, Saturday, May 11 at 3pm (open 2pm–5pm) Exhibition Open Saturdays, June – August, 11am–5pm
Hudson, NY: When David Kermani met John Ashbery, his future husband, on June 15th of 1970, Ashbery had published only five of his more than two dozen poetry collections, including Some Trees (for which he’d won the 1955 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize), and had worked in Paris as an art critic for nearly a decade. But he was still a few years away from earning the “triple crown” of Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and National Book Critics Award (for Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror) that helped solidify his status as the most influential American poet of his time.?
According to a 2005 New Yorker profile, Kermani wasn’t particularly interested in poetry at first, but one day, when he was helping to update Ashbery’s bio, he started digging into his papers, “and the more he rooted the more engrossed he became. He decided that the art writing, which Ashbery viewed as strictly work for hire, was actually a key to understanding the poetry, because although Ashbery notoriously refused to discuss his poems, many of the things he said about other people’s work could be applied to his own. Kermani concluded that if only people could see the same connections that he did they would understand the poetry better: what was needed was a bibliography.” So he created one.
When it was published in 1976, Kermani’s John Ashbery: A Comprehensive Bibliography (including his art criticism, and with selected notes from unpublished materials) “listed everything that Ashbery had ever written, down to the smallest introduction or pamphlet; all his published remarks; his translations; recordings of him reading his poetry; his few appearances on film; settings of his poetry to music; portraits painted of him; art works that incorporated his poems; a citation in Webster’s; and mentions of him in poems by other people.”1 In the process, Kermani, who was once Director of New York’s Tibor de Nagy Gallery, even earned a degree in library science from Columbia University.?
This remarkable volume became the foundation for The Ashbery Resource Center (ARC), The Flow Chart Foundation’s physical library, archival repository, and online catalog, which has functioned since 1998 as a reference hub for all things Ashbery. Today, the ARC’s dynamic collection contains not only books and rare publications, but also music recordings that Ashbery listened to while he wrote, numerous pieces of visual art, beloved objects he surrounded himself with (many well-documented in “John Ashbery’s Nest,” a digital project at Yale led by Ashbery biographer Karin Roffman), and a variety of personal ephemera. The importance of the items with which Ashbery adorned his habitat cannot be overstated—as scholar Paul Norris recently wrote, Ashbery was a “domestic poet,”whose work recognized “that the home contains and organizes a plurality of objects, but also a plurality of thoughts, experiences, and social roles.”
As the ARC works to evolve into a welcoming study space and special collections repository—capable of offering rich opportunities for discovery, research, and creativity—The Flow Chart Foundation is sharing a few treasures that represent the scope and breadth of its resources and connections to its bibliographic beginnings. This exhibition showcases a tiny sampling of the ARC’s holdings; anyone interested in deeper exploration of the collections may make an appointment to visit the ARC.
Highlights of the exhibition include:
Rare ephemera and archival materials? Unique collaborative works An unpublished film script Ashbery’s collage materials and original artwork
The exhibition is curated by Ashbery Resource Center Archivist Nina Boutsikaris and Flow Chart Executive Director Jeffrey Lependorf.?
The exhibition opens on May 11th at 2pm, with a conversation between three Flow Chart Foundation trustees at 3pm. Featuring Ashbery Estate Executor and bibliographer David Kermani and poets (and close Ashbery friends) Dara Barrois/Dixon and Eugene Richie, moderated by Ashbery Resource Center Archivist Nina Boutsikaris at 3pm.? Register to attend the free discussion at . Flyer attached! Would be great to see local archivists/librarians at the opening event!
Warmly, Nina Boutsikaris

Invitation to participate in research - the Impacts of Occupational Identity Rupture on Library, Archives, and Information Workers
Colleagues,
?
Please share with those that may be interested in participating – with thanks and apologies for cross-posting!
?
Rachael
?
Dear Colleagues,
?
If you have recently left a library or archives job, recently returned to a library or archives job, or may be considering a job change, you are invited to take part in a research project. This project examines
how vocational awe and occupational identity intersect when library, archives, and information workers pursue opportunities that take them away from library, archives, and information work. Participants’ lived experiences of job changes and career trajectories
illustrate how professional pivots impact information workers’ self-image and identity. The primary goal of this research project is to generate organizational best practices and employee supports to retain library, archives, and information workers in the
profession.
?
This project has two distinct research phases: an online survey and individual virtual interviews. You are invited to take part in one or both components of the research.
To access the survey, please follow this link:
.
?
To volunteer for an individual interview, please contact Rachael Dreyer at
rad24@....
?
Participation is voluntary and you may withdraw from the survey at any time, for any reason. Collected data will be used for research purposes only and any personally identifying information will be redacted
from the data.
?
The survey is expected to take approximately 12 minutes to complete. Your participation in this research is greatly appreciated – if you know of others who may have recently left library, archives, or information
employment, please feel free to forward this survey invitation to them.
?
With best wishes,
?
Rachael Dreyer
Head of Research Services?
Women’s History and LGBTQIA+ Collections Curator
Eberly Family Special Collections Library
The Pennsylvania State University
Phone: (814) 863-4338?? -? rad24@...

?
The Special Collections Library is open for walk-in research, though we recommend requesting materials 7 days in advance to allow for retrieval from
offsite storage. Disruptions to scheduled hours may occur; you’ll find up-to-date

Join Us for 'Building an Inclusive 250th: Intersectionality and the 250th' - Thursday, 3/14
This Thursday, we invite you to explore the intersectional narratives of "We the People" and the American Experiment in New York State as we work towards building a more inclusive
250th anniversary of the Nation in 2026. We invite participants to critically examine their organizations' collections, exhibits, programs, and institutional planning through the lens of intersectionality as we tackle vital questions: How do we ensure representation
for all audiences? How can we engage hard-to-reach communities? And how do we sustain engagement over years?
This program is designed for anyone who works in or volunteers for a library, archive, museum, historical society, or history/culture site in New York State.
Building an Inclusive 250th: Intersectionality and the 250th

Hello!
I am the new Annual Dinner Coordinator of CAA.
I am writing to invite you to our first social event of 2024, and also to ask you to fill out our activities survey -->
Our first social event this year will take place on Feb 22. It will be a simple after-work social event. Use our activities survey to vote for which city we should hold that event in! We have three options. The question about which city is in the "Tell Us About You" section of the survey.
The CAA Governance Group would like to gauge interest in different types of events. Your responses to our activities survey will help us to plan an eventful year that serves our membership's needs and interests.
Please respond by February 2nd.
Very best wishes,
