Research resources at the museum include an unparalleled collection of art of the United States—more than 37,500 objects—from the eighteenth century through the present day; an extensive study collection relating to
the work of assemblagist Joseph Cornell (1903–1972); a library, shared with the National Portrait Gallery, that contains 100,000 catalogued volumes on American art, history, and biography; the Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture listing information on more than 300,000 paintings and sculpture in public and private collections around the world; and slide and photographic archives of more than 250,000 images documenting American art and artists.
