Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.). Library. Metropolitan Museum of Art Library shelflist of books bequeathed to the Museum by Edward C. Moore, and by his son, Edward C. Moore, Jr., [before 1930].

Title: Metropolitan Museum of Art Library shelflist of books bequeathed to the Museum by Edward C. Moore, and by his son, Edward C. Moore, Jr., [before 1930].

The Moore shelflist card file (no longer extant) contained 362 titles comprising more than 500 volumes, chiefly of nineteenth-century books on the decorative arts, but also including issues of the Art journal (London) for 1862-1864 and a run of the Portfolio (1870-1877). The number of titles reflects individual catalog records created by the Library, some of which comprise multiple exhibition or collection catalogs issued by a given institution, each of which could be considered as a separate work. The Library's Accession book 2 records Edward C. Moore's 1891 bequest; it is entered on Feb. 19, 1892 and lists 331 titles, comprising 429 volumes. Accession book 5 includes four additional books bequeathed by Edward C. Moore; they are entered on the following dates: May 8, 1911; Jan. 31, 1914. Accession book 12 records one book bequeathed by Edward C. Moore; it is entered on May 1, 1935. Accession book 6 records the items bequeathed by Edward C. Moore, Jr.; they are entered on the following dates: Mar. 9 and 23, 1915; Apr. 20 and 23, 1915; Nov. 22, 1916.
