Abstract
In recent years there has been much discussion about cultural standards. From Allan Bloom's jeremiad in The Closing of the American Mind to more recent discussions on "political correctness," questions have been raised about the validity of studying and exhibiting various components of American culture and about who has the authority to ratify cultural standards. Following a selected overview of attempts to define the relationship between art and popular culture, this article discusses the role of the popular culture research facility using The Ohio State University Cartoon, Graphic, and Photographic Arts Research Library and the Consortium of Popular Culture Collections in the Midwest as the models. Finally, the implication of increased interest in popular culture for more traditional art libraries is discussed.
