About the Amon Carter Museum of American Art Library
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art library's noncirculating collection is reflective of the
museum's art collection; as such, it focuses on American art and photography
from the early nineteenth century to the present. Broader focuses include
the cultural, social, and intellectual history of the same period. The library
is especially rich in materials related to the American West.
Collection highlights include the finest examples of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century
illustrated books and western Americana, nineteenth-century newspapers on
microfilm, and an extensive vertical file collection offering a range of
material on artists, museums, commercial galleries, and subjects. The
library's collection includes over 40,000 books and exhibition catalogs, 800
periodical titles, and over 100,000 pieces of microform, including the Archives of American Art on microfilm.

- Wednesday: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
- Thursday: 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Friday: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
