Books and Periodicals
The book collection consists of more than 285,000
titles and 2,250 periodicals, of which 750 are active subscriptions.
Monographs, general works, and reference materials are acquired
with respect to the scope of the collections. Catalogs of public
and private collections date back to the eighteenth century. Exhibition
catalogs are acquired no matter how small and this has resulted in an
extensive and rare collection of exhibition pamphlets, checklists,
broadsides, and other ephemera from as early as the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Approximately 6,000 books are acquired annually
through purchase, gift, and depository participation by museums,
art dealers, private collectors, and authors. Books acquired as
gifts or through endowed book funds are acknowledged with bookplates
and a credit line in FRESCO. For book donations, complete the Book Donor Credit Form to include with donated items.
