Walter & Leonore Annenberg Research Center

The Research Center of the Brandywine River Museum of Art includes unique resources related to American art and artists. The Center’s reading room contains approximately 3,500 volumes—books, exhibition catalogues, specialized dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes, sale catalogues from major auction houses from 1970 to present times, and other printed materials relating to American art history. The Center’s special collections contain approximately 22,000 items including portfolios and scrapbooks, historic calendars and posters, exhibition posters and brochures, photographs, ephemera such as clippings, tear sheets, book jackets, archival materials related to various artists, and various formats—some digitized—films, video tapes, sound cassettes and phonograph records . It also preserves rare illustrated nineteenth to early twentieth-century books and journals, as well as the Charles Scribner’s Sons card file that provide essential support to the study of American illustration and particularly artists of the Brandywine region. The special collections are also a major and growing repository for materials pertaining to the Wyeth family of artists.
