One of the largest architecture, city planning, art, and art history libraries in the Northeast, the Mui Ho Fine Arts Library offers an ever-expanding collection of materials on these and related topics in various formats and multiple languages. Housed in Rand Hall and at the Library Annex, the collection grows by approximately 4,000 titles each year, comprising more than 273,000 volumes and subscriptions to more than 800 periodical titles. With online access to multiple databases, such as Art & Architecture Source, Urban Studies Abstracts, JSTOR, and the Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, we assist patrons in navigating a broad range of disciplinary interests. We also work with library partners across Cornell University Library to provide access to online image, streaming, data, and archival resources.
In addition to our wide-ranging collections, our librarians help you in different ways—from recommending and finding print and digital sources for your research, to conducting instruction sessions for your classes. Contact us via email at fineartsref@cornell.edu, or call 607-255-3710.
