Abstract
In this second part of our tribute to Helene E. Roberts (the first published in Visual Resources 26, no. 3), authors explore collecting and iconography, subjects to which Roberts contributed extensively through her scholarship, innovative ways of reexamining conventional or traditional topics like iconography, and through her work as a librarian and archivist. Authors in their essays examine how historically inflected and even invented iconographies can be, exemplified in Roberts' own studies of iconography, and the ways collecting served to enhance personal and public cultural values and national identities.
