| Description | In order to render the information in the journals readily accessible Millar maintained two indexes:
The first is an Index to collections and houses (ONM/1/1/1), covering the journals recording visits to collections, houses, public galleries, sale-rooms etc. in the UK (ONM/1/2). Please note, this does not include entries for the sale rooms (e.g. Sotheby's and Christie's) or foreign collections; information about such visits was only indexed by artist.
The second is an Index to artists (ONM/1/1/2), covering all forty six notebooks recording visits to collections, houses, public galleries, sale-rooms etc. in the UK (ONM/1/2) and the visits abroad (ONM/1/3).
Please note, the index does not include an entry for Van Dyck. This is because Millar tended to record information about works by this artist in a series of seven additional journals (ONM/1/4).
The indexes have been digitised and are available to view at <http://www.paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk/collections/millar-journals>. Readers interested in Millar's notes on a particular artist's work can browse the digitised Index of Artist's Names to pinpoint which journals they are featured in. |
