[1] Terra Foundation for American Art Europe Library (Paris)

Since fall 2009, the Terra Foundation library is open to the public. It is
the only research library in Europe devoted exclusively to American art
and counts numerous rare books in its collection. While not comprehensive,
the collection includes approximately 5,000 books and catalogues covering
the history of American art from the eighteenth century to 1980 with a
specialization on art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Catalogued using the Library of Congress system, the entire collection is
available online at the following address:
http://catalogue.terra.biblibre.com/. In the near future, databases, as
well as periodicals in electronic format, will also be available to
library-users.

The library includes books on fine arts, decorative arts, and photography
as well as monographs on artists born or active in the United States. The
collection is particularly rich in resources on painting, including
several important groups of monographs, and exhibition and collection
catalogues produced in Europe and in the United States. Books on history,
philosophy, literature, and visual culture of the United States allow
scholars to study American art in a larger cultural and historic context.

The collection is available for in-house consultation with a reading room
of a capacity of 12 seats. The library is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays
by appointment only, to university students, professors, museum
professionals, and independent scholars.
