The Rosenbach makes its library and fine and decorative arts collections available for research by anyone. While approximately half of our researchers are traditional scholars, academic faculty, and graduate students, we also welcome younger students and their teachers, artists, writers, librarians, collectors, curators, dealers, and others with inquiring minds. You can make a research appointment here.
We also love to see the results of our researchers’ hard work. The list below features 2017 publications that emerged from on-site research in Rosenbach collections (as of December 14, 2017).
