Recently Added Collections Online - Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Primary Sources on American Art and Artists

Collections Online is an innovative tool which aims to make primary source research in American art history available to all.

Entire collections have been digitized according to their archival arrangement, including the papers of artists, dealers, critics and curators. The result is unprecedented access to the content and context of thousands of documents, photographs, diaries, sketches, writings, and rare published materials.

Please note that most of the Archives’ 6,000 collections are not digitized; browse all materials in Collections & Interviews A-Z
To access selected items from collections which have only been partially digitized use Search Images
