With respect to a personal biography, please go to the following Internet links for a quick and easy assimilation of a portion of much data regarding information available publicly on myself, Richard Warren Lipack.
I am a published author and historian with a published book (historic account) held by major university libraries worldwide, including Harvard and Cornell Universities.
As an international arts and antiques dealer for well over 40 years, I have had the unique opportunity to handle the corporate and private document holdings of Thomas A. Edison early in my career. A discussion written by myself that came from this activity can be found on file in the Corning Glass Museum;

Later on, I discovered and brought to light the very letter Edison wrote on the day he invented the light bulb, discussing his work then being conducted on said electric lamp.
Prior to this effort, my expertise as a photographic art historian was acknowledged by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who I suppled with important historical photographs for their collection. My name is listed under "Provenance." Here are some samples of the many Internet links pertaining to assistance I provided to the Met as found on the Museum's site;
