LIBRARY

Visitor and Research Information

The Booth Western Art Museum Library was founded as part of the Booth Western Art Museum in July 2000. It functions as a reference library for Western American art, culture and history.  The Library also has small collections of reference materials on Civil War history, United States presidential history, and local history that support the collections of the Booth Western Art Museum.

The Museum Library is available for use by volunteers, museum visitors, students, researchers, and the public during Museum hours Tuesday through Friday (10 am to 5 pm) by appointment. Children are welcome to use the Library with adult supervision. See the customer service representative at the front desk for access to the Library. It is manned by the librarian and volunteers to help make your visit a pleasurable and informative one.  For more information call 770-387-1300 or e-mail LizG@boothmuseum.org

All collections are non-circulating and may be used only within the Library.  To ensure the preservation of these irreplaceable materials, access to certain collections, such as rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and other archival materials, may be restricted, requiring submission of a Research Request Form (available at the Reference Desk). Library personnel will be happy to assist you with your research by retrieving requested materials. Please be considerate by using care with library materials and by complying with instructions of Library staff and regulations of the Museum.
