Open House at the Amon Carter Library and Archives

The Amon Carter Library and Archives hosted its first open house event on April 1, 2010. We had about ninety guests representing diverse areas of the community ranging from those who did not know about the library and archives program to regular researchers and colleagues. Visitors enjoyed seeing a wide range of material that staff assembled in the reading room. Guests also had a special opportunity to peruse the library stacks, which are normally available to staff only.

The library and archives also administers the museum’s Davidson Family Fellowship designed to support advanced research on the collections. This year’s award has been accepted by Timothy Andrus, Ph. D. student at Virginia Commonwealth University. His topic is "Stuart Davis's New Mexican Landscape: Putting the American Scene in Perspective.”
