* Art & Art History: Visual Art Research at UK

Here is the mother ship for art reseach on campus. The Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library holds almost 100,000 volumes on visual art, including artists' catalogues raisonnes, technique and technical materials about how to make art, exhibition catalogues for museum and gallery shows published from the late 18th C to the present, academic art history books, essential reference books, and art periodicals like visual art magazines and fine arts journals.

The Design Library houses materials on architecture and design and is used frequently by members of the College of Fine Arts.

Sometimes duplicate copies of standard or important art books from the Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library are also located at Young Library. And many books on literature, history, and interdisciplinary topics that are important for the study of art history are found in the collections at Young.

The special collections library (SCRC) includes collections of rare books, manuscripts and archives collections, and recorded materials in the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History. Many items of interest for art and art history are kept in the special collections library.
