    EIGHTEEN MAJOR NEW YORK AREA MUSEUMS PARTICIPATE IN INSTAGRAM SWAP THE FRICK COLLECTION PAIRS WITH NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, eighteen major New York City area institutions have joined forces to celebrate their unique collections and spaces on Instagram. All day today, February 2, the museums will post photos from this exciting project. Each participating museum paired with a sister institution, then set out to take photographs at that institution, capturing objects and moments that resonated with their own collections, exhibitions, and themes. As anticipated, each organization’s unique focus offers a new perspective on their partner museum. Throughout the day, the Frick will showcase its recent visit to the New-York Historical Society on its Instagram feed using the hashtag #MuseumInstaSwap. Posts will emphasize the connections between the two museums and libraries, both cultural landmarks in New York and both beloved for highlighting the city’s rich history. The public is encouraged to follow and interact to discover what each museum’s Instagram staffer discovered in the other’s space.

    From the Head Librarian

    NOTESVOLUME 17, NUMBER 3, FALL 2010 FROM THE HEAD LIBRARIAN Though people who know me realize I am more of a cat person, I do love the fact that working at the Society Library means meeting some lovely creatures of the canine variety. I hope you all enjoy the collection of photos of the Library’s furry friends on pages 4-6. As Circulation Supervisor Patrick Rayner will remind you, you can bring your dog into the Library while you drop off your returns, pick up books on hold, or get the latest New Books list at the front desk. RENOVATION UPDATE AND REMINDERS TO MEMBERS We made it. With the exception of some final tweaks to the handicapped accessibility at the front entrance and touch-ups to the fifth floor, the renovation is complete. Our first issue of Library Notes in the new year will be a full-color feature issue with photos and narrative about the renovation this summer and fall. At this time of writing, Renovation Projects Librarian Andrew Corbin is preparing this report for Notes. I did want to take a moment to make a few announcements to all members who frequent the renovated fifth floor: — We make the fifth floor study rooms available for five bookings at a time. Ask at the front desk and they’ll explain the booking system in detail. — The heating and cooling system is operational on the fifth floor. During the cooler days of winter, we will set the temperature at 72. We apologize in advance if there is some variance in comfort between the open space of the Hornblower Room and the study rooms.

A VALUABLE HOBBY The Knickerbocker Club played baseball at Hoboken's "Elysian Fields" on October 6, 1845. That game appears to be the first recorded by an American newspaper. This Currier & Ives lithograph, which is online via the Library of Congress, depicts the Elysian Fields. As the nineteenth century moved into its fourth decade, Alexander Cartwright wrote rules for the Knickerbockers, an amateur New York City baseball club. Those early rules (which were adopted on the 23rd of September, 1845) provide a bit of history (perhaps accurate, perhaps not) for the “Recently Invented Game of Base Ball.” For many years the games of Townball, Rounders and old Cat have been the sport of young boys. Recently, they have, in one form or another, been much enjoyed by gentlemen seeking wholesome American exercise. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright and other members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York codified the unwritten rules of these boys games into one, and so made the game of Base Ball a sport worthy of attention by adults. We have little doubt but that this gentlemanly pastime will capture the interest and imagination of sportsman and spectator alike throughout this country. Within two weeks of adopting their rules, members of the Knickerbocker Club played an intra-squad game at the Elysian Fields (in Hoboken, New Jersey).

    The Frick Collection

    THE FRICK COLLECTION Building Upgrade and Expansion Fact Sheet Project Description: Honoring the architectural legacy and unique character of the Frick, the design for the upgrade and expansion by Selldorf Architects provides unprecedented access to the original 1914 home of Henry Clay Frick, preserves the intimate visitor experience and beloved galleries for which the Frick is known, and revitalizes the 70th Street Garden. Conceived to address pressing institutional and programmatic needs, the new plan creates new resources for permanent collection display and special exhibitions, conservation, and education and public programs, while upgrading visitor amenities and overall accessibility. The project marks the first comprehensive upgrade to the Frick’s buildings since the institution opened to the public eighty-two years ago in 1935. Groundbreaking: 2020 Location: 1 East 70th Street, New York, NY 10021 Square Footage: Current: 179,000 square feet Future: 197,000 square feet (10% increase) * *Note that this figure takes into consideration new construction as well as the loss of existing space resulting from the elimination of mezzanine levels in the library. Project Breakdown: Repurposed Space: 60,000 square feet New Construction: 27,000 square feet* **Given that 9,000 square feet of library stack space is removed through repurposing, the construction nets a total additional space of 18,000 square feet.
