The Huntington
The Huntington is an independent research center with extensive holdings in British and American history, literature, art history, and the history of science and medicine. These collections range chronologically from the eleventh century to the present. The Library contains approximately 500,000 rare books, pamphlets, extra-illustrated books, maps, and ephemera, 500,000 reference works, nearly six million manuscripts, and 600,000 photographs. Catalogues of the Library’s book and manuscripts collections can be found on our website. Further details can be obtained from the curatorial staff.
The Art Division holds 75,000 British and American paintings, drawings, watercolors, and fine prints. The Smithsonian Archives of American Art also has a center at the Huntington. There are separate reference libraries in the Art and Botanical Divisions. The Research Division supports an extensive fellowship program to fund short-term fellows and sponsors a number of conferences, lectures, and seminars. Up to three NEH fellowships are available for 2008-2009.
