THE PAUL MELLON CENTRE WEBSITE Paul Mellon Centre Website LAUNCH OF THE NEW PAUL MELLON CENTRE WEBSITE In March we launched our new website, which has been designed to provide increased functionality and to make available archive materials relating to the Centre’s past activities. New photography has been undertaken to enhance the visual impact of the site and to communicate our purpose and range of resources. A full text search facility enables users to search the entire site by entering details such as artist, event, title, author or keyword. There is a new section highlighting recent Paul Mellon Centre/Yale University Press publications and educational events supported through the fellowships and grants programme. In addition, the backlist of publications has been organized alphabetically by author surname to ease navigation and users can now download past newsletters and event details from 2002 onwards. You can visit the site at: http://www.paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk and email feedback to: info@paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk New Grant Award THE WILHELMINA BARNS-GRAHAM RESEARCH SUPPORT GRANT The Barns-Graham Charitable Trust was created by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham in her lifetime, and came into effect following her death in January 2004. The Trust has decided to instigate The Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Research Support Grant which will be awarded annually to a scholar or researcher in the field of 20th-century British painting. The grant is for £2,000 to assist with travel, subsistence and other research costs and will be administered by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
