The Library’s mission is to support the Museum staff in its curatorial and administrative research, to support the Research Center Scholarship Program and to support the information needs of the scholarly community. The growing collection of materials at the Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Research Center Library and its archives supports advanced research on Georgia O’Keeffe and American Modernism (late nineteenth century – present). It currently consists of books, periodicals, auction catalogs, vertical files, audiotapes, videos and CDs; as well as materials from The Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation, The William Innes Homer Collection and Maria Chabot Archives.  

The Library’s goals are to develop resources for the study of American Modernism (late nineteenth century – present), and it is actively pursuing the documentation of American Modernist art, architecture, design, photography, music and literature. Of primary importance are materials and research on Georgia O’Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz, the Stieglitz Circle artists, and O’Keeffe’s contemporaries; as well as developments in American and European Modernism from the 1890s to the present.

The Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Research Center Library is a non-circulating research library. Qualified researchers are welcome by advance appointment only. Interested researchers should submit the application for access form. APPLICATION
