More about the Archives of American Art: The Archives of American Art (AAA) is a trusted source, empowering an expansive history of American art and culture. Founded at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1954, the AAA collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources documenting the visual arts of the United States. Housed within the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, since 1970, the AAA builds and cares for a national collection of great breadth and depth. The AAA enlivens the extraordinary human stories behind America’s most significant art and artists, amplifying and lifting the voices and legacies of artists and other art-world figures. A vital resource for anyone interested in the complex, ever-evolving nature of American culture, the AAA’s vast holdings consist of more than 20 million letters, diaries, sketches and preparatory works, scrapbooks, manuscripts, financial records, photographs, films, and audiovisual recordings of artists, dealers, collectors, critics, scholars, museums, galleries, associations, and other art-world individuals and institutions. The AAA also houses the largest collection of oral histories anywhere on the subject of the visual arts. Founded on the belief that the public needs free and open access to the historical record, the collections are available to all who wish to consult materials in person or online. Users are welcome to explore and to discover their own connections to the makers and making of American art and culture.
