Our Resource Library has amassed considerable information covering many artists and topics. In late 2016 we changed focus away from adding additional articles and essays. Instead, we are concentrating on furthering breadth and depth of information from other sources to place in Topics in American Art. In early 2017 we added hundreds of additional museums to our list for ongoing study. We plan for Resource Library to remain inactive while accumulating content for Topics.
