Paul Oppé Library and Archive
from PMC Notes
The Paul Mellon Centre is delighted to announce that it has been permanently allocated the Paul Oppé Library and Archive under the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme. This is a landmark in the Centre’s history.
The library of Adolph Paul Oppé (1878–1957), art historian and art collector, includes auction sale catalogues, printed books, and annotated and manuscript versions of his own books. The archive includes Oppé’s extensive series of diaries, notebooks, correspondence, travel notes and journals, as well as Oppé family papers.
Under the terms of the allocation, the material will not be available for consultation until it has been fully catalogued. The Paul Mellon Centre is keen to achieve this as soon as possible and over the next few months will be recruiting for two project posts: an archive cataloguer and a library cataloguer.
