Rare Books

The Margaret R. and Robert M. Freeman Library’s rare book collection consists of approximately 3,500 volumes of material including monographs, exhibition catalogs, portfolios and rare journals representing the full range of the humanities and arts disciplines held by the Freeman Library. Areas of emphasis reflect the strengths of Museum holdings in the areas of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, decorative arts, Arts and Crafts (particularly Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters), and German Expressionism). Artist illustrated books, European and American publishers’ bindings, and turn of the century periodicals are other areas of interest.
