The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art, Prints and Photographs unites what had formerly been five separate collections under a single banner. Division holdings comprise works of art as well as reference materials on painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, decorative arts, fashion, and the history of architecture from throughout the world from antiquity to the present. The Wallach Division also serves as the access points to the Spencer Collection of fine bindings and illustrated books and the Picture Collection. This tour will be welcomed by Joshua Chuang, Deirdre Donohue, and the staff who will outline the scope of the Library's research resources, and share a few materials from the collections.
Attendees are encouraged to explore the building and participate in the
Artist Files SIG and
Public Librarians SIG after visiting the Division.
A reception will take place after the SIG meetings from 4:00-5:00 pm.
