ViolinConcerto Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 A librarian friend of mine forwarded me a job posting for "CURATOR, JEROME ROBBINS DANCE DIVISION at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts/Jerome Robbins Dance Division" I wonder who is leaving and who will be arriving. Does anyone know if it is a new position or if someone is leaving or retiring. It seems to me that the person in this position will be very important to those of us lucky enough to be in NY and to use the collection. Has anyone heard about this? Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Not on my most desperate day! Curators in Libraries get about as much respect as Librarians in Museums. The Robbins collection has a mixture of library, archival, decorative, useful, and fine arts in it, and this position sounds like it's a real people-eater. Link to comment

sandik Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 i believe madeleine nichols is retiring. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sorry to hear it -- she's done excellent work with the collection. Link to comment
ViolinConcerto Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Her retirement was announced at a screening of the new "Ballet russes" film at the library over the weekend. Not only has she done excellent work, she's done it with great entusiasm and a sense of wonder! Link to comment
