This image displays a historical document, specifically a vintage newspaper clipping mounted on an aged, tan-colored paper sheet that has two holes punched along its left edge, suggesting it was saved in a binder or scrapbook.
The clipping consists of two distinct articles from "The Globe," as indicated by a small, separate clipping at the top left.
Main Article: "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan"
This article, dated with a handwritten note "Crimson Oct. 16 '74" beneath it, reports on the Fogg Art Museum's new security measures. It details how the museum has installed two closed-circuit television cameras on a trial basis to protect its collections against theft, vandalism, fire, and water damage. The cameras monitor a pair of third-floor corridors and relay live images to a single guard's station. This system is part of a broader, more elaborate security plan that is still in the planning stages. The acting director, Seymour Slive, is quoted as stating the system will not require additional security personnel and that the theft of over $1 million worth of rare coins last December 2 was not the direct cause for these new plans. The article also mentions that the museum's existing bars on windows are considered insufficient and that the new CCTV system is being installed to strengthen overall security. It further notes the resignation of Daniel J. Robbins as director in August, partly due to disappointment from the central administration over how he handled the museum's security problems, including the coin theft.
Secondary Article: "Fisher to give 19/13 sale proceeds"
This smaller clipping, pasted in the top-left corner, reports that Margaret Fisher, whose watercolors and drawings are being exhibited at the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Cambridge, has agreed to donate the proceeds from the sale of her work to Harvard's Fogg Museum. It directs interested buyers to leave their name and address at the front-desk of the Fogg.
Visual Elements:
The image appears to be a document or a page from a document, with a headline and a brief article about security measures at the Fogg Art Museum. The document is affixed to a tan-colored background with a hole punch on the left side, suggesting it might be from a binder or a scrapbook. The headline reads, "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan." The article discusses the installation of closed-circuit television cameras at the museum to monitor a pair of third-floor corridors, with the expressed intention of protecting the collections from theft, vandalism, and other security threats. The article mentions that the closed-circuit system will be on trial for at least a few months, and discusses the museum's security measures in relation to a previous theft of over $1 million worth of rare coins. Additionally, there is a smaller note in the upper left corner that appears to be a cut-out from another source, possibly a newspaper or a magazine, dated "10/13" and mentioning a Margaret Fisher exhibition at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The bottom of the document is dated "Crimson Oct. 16 '74."
This image shows a yellowed page from a document or a scrapbook, with newspaper clippings attached to it. The clippings appear to be from different sources, with one being labeled "The Globe" and dated "10/13," and the other being from "Crimson Oct. 16 '74."
The clipping from "The Globe" discusses a situation involving Margaret Fisher, whose watercolors and drawings are being extended at the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Cambridge due to the popularity of her exhibition. Fisher has indicated a desire to have the pictures sold, and the proceeds donated to Harvard's Fogg Museum.
The clipping from "Crimson" discusses the Fogg Art Museum's use of closed-circuit television in a new trial security plan. The article mentions that the museum has installed two closed-circuit television cameras on a trial basis to strengthen the building's overall security. The system is designed to protect the museum's collections from fire and water damage as well as from theft and vandalism. The article also mentions the theft of over $1 million worth of rare coins from the Fogg last December 2 and the resignation of Daniel J. Robbins as director of the Fogg.
There is also a photograph of a barred window on the right side of the "Crimson" clipping, with a caption explaining that bars on the windows of the Fogg Art Museum are not sufficient to ensure the museum's collections against theft, hence the installation of closed-circuit television cameras.
The image is a photograph of a newspaper clipping with a brown border. The clipping contains a news article about the Fogg Art Museum's installation of closed-circuit television cameras as part of a new trial security plan. The article is from the Crimson, dated October 16, 1974.
The headline reads, "Fogg Uses Closed-Circuit T.V. In New Trial Security Plan." The article discusses the installation of two closed-circuit television cameras on a trial basis at the Fogg Art Museum to enhance security. The cameras are intended to protect the museum's collections from theft and vandalism.
The article quotes Seymour Slive, director of the Fogg, who states that the cameras will remain on trial "for at least a few months," and that the museum was not made to respond directly to the theft of over $1 million worth of rare prints from the Fogg last December 2.
The closed-circuit system monitors the first and third-floor corridors, relaying live images onto television screens watched by a single guard. Depending on the success of the trial, museum officials may consider installing a more extensive closed-circuit system.
Slive further comments on the nature of the museum's overall security system, stating that the closed-circuit system, if fully instituted, will serve only as part of a much more elaborate security system. He mentions that there is no indication that Fogg officials have increased security efforts.
Other aspects of the closed-circuit system under consideration include in-room and centralized sound systems, additional personnel, and security badges. Slive notes that these measures were still in the planning stages.
The article also mentions that the Fine Arts Department sources say that the Fogg administration was "disappointed" by the way the coin theft was handled, following a series of conflicts with the Fine Arts faculty and administration.
The clipping is pinned to a piece of paper with a hole punch at the top left corner. There is also a handwritten note on the left side of the clipping that reads, "The Globe Fisher to give 10/15 sale proceeds."
