How to search for materials in the archive

Begin a search by entering your search terms in the search bar. You may limit the search by search terms, record type, searchable field, and/or dates.

Search term: searches the entire text of the finding aid.

Record type: allows you to customize the type of records to search (e.g. collections, digital materials).

Search fields:

Keyword – Searches the entire text of the finding aid.
Title – Searches titles of materials, including collection records and series and files within collections. If you know the exact title of the item you’re looking for, searching by title can be very helpful.
Subject – Searches by subject headings assigned to materials by archivists and librarians (e.g., “bones”).
Creator – Primarily searches names of the persons, families, and organizations who created the collections, not individual records or items within collections. Most creators are associated at the collection level and not at the series or file level. Identifier – Searches for a number or unique ID associated with an object, file, box, or collection (e.g., accession, manuscript, or record group number).

How to request appointments and materials

The library and archive is open to the public by appointment. Please contact the library and archive to schedule an appointment to access archival material.

How to find digitized materials

Many items in the collection have been digitized. If an item has been digitized, there will be a note and link under Digital Material in the item record and an image icon next to the item in the Collections Organization.

Digitized items are indicated in finding aids, but they are not viewable or accessible through the finding aids. Digital material can be searched and viewed in the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Collections Online.

To request digital reproductions for research, personal use, or licensing, please contact the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
