Hello,

This is the first Wikipedia page I have written. The artist I am writing about, Sid Hammer, has very little online references to back up the contents of the article. I am working with a colleague to archive his works and all the documents that were left in the possession of his family. There is evidence of his having gotten the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1963 (https://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows/sid-hammer/) and there are some selections of his work available on the National Gallery website (https://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.4293.html).

Should I add these as references? Much of the information resides only in physical form, and has not been published to the internet (yet).

If these two references are enough, I will look into how best to site them (unless you have the time to recommend how I proceed).

Thanks!

 * First, let me get this straight. Is your name also Sid Hammer? Coincidence? Or have you just used that name for your Wikipedia work? (It is generally discouraged to take the name of a real living person (see WP:Username), but I'm not sure the policy is so strict against assuming the name of dead people.
 * Second, yes, any references you have should be added to the article. References need not be available online, but the must be publicly accessible. Documents you have in your personal possession are not valid references, but books and magazine articles that have been published (and are presumably available for purchase or through library back issue access) are valid references.
