Founded in 1973, we are one of 19 local chapters of ARLIS/NA, which along with ARLIS/UK and ARLIS Australia - New Zealand make up the international organisation, ARLIS. We strive to promote the interests and goals of those who are concerned with art librarianship. This group includes a variety of people:

  •     art and architecture librarians
  •      slide and photograph curators
  •      library assistants and students
  •      art historians and critics
  •      book publishers and dealers
  •      artists, architects, and designers
  •      museum and gallery personnel
  •      collectors and appreciators
  •      retired persons from these fields
