ARHS 4913 and 4923: American Art (to 1860 and 1860–1960)

An online guide to core library resources

Introduction

I am indebted to Dr. Leo Mazow, former associate professor at the University of Arkansas, whose description of specific resources I borrowed from heavily. Feedback is always appreciated. If you need help using specific resources, please contact me.

Renovation of the Fine Arts Library

The Fine Arts Library is scheduled to close at the end of 2022 to begin a renovation that should be finished in 2024.

Some works from the Fine Arts Library will be browsable in Mullins Library, roughly from these categories:

  • Items in the call number range N–ND (moved summer 2022)
  • Items with the call number TR (moved summer 2022)
  • The reference collection (moved summer 2022)
  • Unbound issues of periodicals (moved December 2022)

Other volumes from the Fine Arts Library will be stored in the Library Annex.

All items should be available, although those in the Library Annex must be requested. Please direct questions on locating items to falib@uark.edu.

We look forward to the completion of the new Fine Arts Center, designed by Edward Durell Stone more than seven decades ago. The restored building should be a masterpiece—and the friendly little library with the 1950s vibe shall return.
