A new repository for information on American collectors, dealers and other market makers is now available courtesy of The Frick Collection’s Center for the History of Collecting in America, which has launched an online database.

The Archives Directory currently includes 1500 names, including information on Pop collectors Ethel and Robert Scull, financier David Rockefeller, Old Master merchants Duveen Brothers, and Eli Broad.

The site is an ongoing project, according to manager Samantha Deutch, who is preparing the next tranche of 1500 names.

Currently missing are many contemporary players, including the likes of Larry Gagosian, Beth Rudin DeWoody and Glenn Fuhrman.

Info can be contributed via the site. Link to that page here.

The Frick has also launched a database devoted to 17th Century Dutch art inventories, available here. A database of Spanish artists is forthcoming.
