What to expect
Email is answered by volunteers, usually within two weeks, and within a few days when it concerns a visit or directions. We can tell you whether we hold a work, what it is, and how it is usually dated and attributed. We can help you plan a visit or a gift of books.
We cannot value books, send scans or copies, undertake extended research, or advise on practice.
