The Smithsonian Libraries is pleased to announce the webpage for the
Smithsonian Libraries Artists’ Books Collection!
The Artists’ Books Collection includes hundreds works of art in book form at numerous branches at the Smithsonian Libraries, spanning the 20th century through today. The site
serves as the portal to search or browse the entirety of the collection at all of the branches, to provide information about collection access, and to highlight book arts-related happenings, projects and acquisitions at the Smithsonian Libraries.
This search portal has been a collaborative effort to bring artists’ books to light at the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt, National Design Library, the American Art Museum/National Portrait
Gallery Library, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Library, and the Warren M. Robbins Library at the National Museum of African Art, as well as the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology. The webpage is the culmination of several years
of work on the part of staff and interns across the Smithsonian Libraries.
More details about the Smithsonian Libraries Artists’ Books Collection can be found at the following web link:

Please share this information with librarians, artists and book arts enthusiasts!
