The Arts Library
The Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library opened in August 2008. The library space bridges the newly renovated Paul Rudolph Hall and the newly constructed Jeffrey Loria Center for the History of Art, designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects. The Haas Family Arts Library brings together the collections, staff, and other resources previously distributed across the Yale campus.
It houses the former Art + Architecture and Drama library collections and the Arts of the Book Collection, as well as staff and services for the Visual Resources Collection. On site, the library contains approximately 125,000 volumes on art, architecture, drama, as well as related rare and unique materials. It serves as the working library for the schools of Art, Architecture, and Drama as well as the Department of the History of Art and the Yale University Art Gallery.
