About us:

Tens of thousands of individuals, including students, scholars, teachers and others, view educational and informative materials every month on our site, which is structured as a digital library.

Our website is the world's most valued and visited site devoted to American representational art. Inspiration for our focus was provided by a myriad of artists living and deceased, Peter and Elaine Adams, John and Barbara Hazeltine, Gerald J. Miller and Jean Stern. (left: JP Hazeltine, Director and President).

In 2003 we acquired an online publication devoted to education and understanding of American representational art founded in 1997 named Resource Library Magazine. In 2004 we changed the name of the publication to Resource Library, which remains the current name. The publication, since inception provided without charge as a public service, contains 1,300+ articles and essays written by hundreds of named authors, plus thousands of other texts, all providing educational and informational content to students, scholars, teachers and others. Published materials related to exhibitions frequently contain texts from exhibition brochures or catalogues, magazine or journal articles, gallery guides, wall panels, labels, audio tour scripts, checklists and news releases, plus related images. Resource Library also provides free publicity to hundreds of American nonprofit art venues including museums and cultural centers, the source of almost all of Resource Library's content.
