Support the Fund for the Archives by becoming a Friend, helping us to ensure that significant records and untold stories documenting the history of American art are collected, preserved, and shared with the world.
Yes! I would like to become a Friend of the Archives by making a gift in the following amount:
Friends enjoy invitations to special events, trips, and programs; receive publications, including our Primary Source newsletter and e-newsletter and the Archives of American Art Journal*; and receive recognition for support in the Archives’ and Smithsonian Institution’s annual reports.**
