Remembering LORE L. HOLMES It is in both sadness and peace that we memorialize the passing of Lore Holmes at home on August 24, 2005, from cancer. Lore was a Research Collaborator at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the chemist responsible for carrying out all phases of the Limestone Sculpture Provenance Project. Her work included technical studies of ancient Chinese bronzes and ceramics and Islamic ceramics, as well as experience in art history and editing.
Lore was the force behind this website. She organized help from her friends and family, wrote most of the text, obtained the pictures and permission to use them, and did all the data entry as well as the bulk of the data conversion and correction. Her aim, even in her last months, was to preserve and publish the data so it could be used by scholars and others. This website stands as her monument.
