The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center is dedicated to perpetuating the artistic legacy of Georgia O'Keeffe and to the study and interpretation of American Modernism (1890-present). It is located in the historic Bergere House in downtown Santa Fe. Its archives there contain a wide variety of documents and correspondence pertaining to O'Keeffe and her contemporaries, and all of the personal property O'Keeffe owned at the time of her death in 1986, including artistic materials, the library she maintained at her Ghost Ranch house, and the found objects she collected, such as bones and rocks.
The Research Center's program of lectures, symposia, colloquia, conferences, informal discussions, and publications complements the exhibitions, performances, and lectures sponsored by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Scholars can participate in these programs, as well as in the rich cultural milieu of the city and its institutions. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center is a member of the Association of Research Institutes in Art History (ARIAH).
