Use our finding aids to explore the Archives of Women Artists. Finding aids are tools to assist researchers in finding information. They are detailed documents that provide an overview and “map” of each collection’s contents.

The Betty Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center (LRC) will begin accepting new archival reference inquiries or research requests on January 9th, 2024.
