The Devil Colony (2011) novel

Original Novel Title: The Devil Colony: A Sigma Force Novel
Author: James Rollins
Publisher: William Morrow, 2011.

Rollins' novel The Devil Colony contains a typical mischaracterization of an archives as a museum. In this case, it is really inexcusable since he's profiling the United States National Archives which even has the word archives in its name. Yet he insists on calling it a museum, not once, but at least twice.

"Painter scrunched his brow. Why was Seichan sniffing around the National Archives? The museum was a storehouse of America's historical manuscripts and documents. ..." (p. 84)

Charpter 9 of Part 1 has some of the characters visiting the National Archives very late at night:

"Dr. Eric Heisman was one of the museum's [National Archives'] curators, specializing in Colonial American history." (p. 88)

And again on page 91 Dr. Heisman is referred to as a curator.

Super 8 (2011) movie

The Super 8 movie released June 10, 2011 is written and directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. The Editing Room section of the official Web site makes clever use of archival film footage that appears to have been heavily censored.

The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting (1978) movie

The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting is a 1978 movie by director Paul Ruiz. According to the DVD package blurb, "A bumbling art collect attempts to reconstruct the content of a painting missing from a series of seven painted 100years earlier by an eccentric artist."

The movie is adapted from a novel of the same name by Pierre Klossowski.

The Modigliani Scandal (1976, 1985) novel

Ken Follett originally published his novel The Modigliani Scandal in 1976 under the pseudonym of Zachary Stone, at least that's my assumption since it was copyrighted that year to that person. The novel was reissued under his own name in May 1985 as a paperback.
