You can access resources on textiles and Washington history in the library and study centers at the museum downtown. Scholars, faculty and students can make appointments to research art and artifacts at the museum and at our collections center in northern Virginia.
This center is home to one of the world’s most significant textile study collections, consisting of nearly 4,000 textile fragments created around the globe.
The center houses a research collection of maps, illustrative prints, newspapers and ephemera relating to Washington, D.C., history, as well as a non-circulating library.
