Grants and Acquisitions

Abstract

Pepperdine University has received a $1.3 million gift along with the Dr. Leonard B. and Joan R. Starr Art Book and Music Collection. The books and recordings from the collection will be preserved and displayed as part of the Starr Art Book and Music Collection, while the monetary gift will form an endowment that will be used to fund a curatorial position for, and periodic additions to, the collection. The collection is organized with a catalog created by Starr that identifies books containing specific works of art. Many of the books in the collection are limited edition publications, an additional benefit to researchers. Cataloging the collection is expected to take much of the rest of 2017.
