The Paul Mellon Centre for the Studies in British Art have been busy cataloguing the archive of the late Sir Oliver Millar (1923-2007), expert on seventeenth century paintings and former Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures.
Part of their collection is the vast amount of journals noting all the key visits Millar made to collections around the world. This archive will be of great interest to art historians, especially scholars of the likes of Van Dyck. They have uploaded the index of his journals and notebooks online, but you'll have to book yourself in to consult the documents in person when the centre reopens.
