Haas Arts Library

The Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library, linking the ground floors of Rudolph Hall and the Loria Center at 180 and 190 York Street, is devoted to the study of art, art history, architecture, and drama at Yale University and is one of the largest libraries of its kind in North America. Roughly 150,000 of nearly 500,000 volumes are onsite and include catalogues raisonnés, exhibition catalogs, print journals, and magazines. You can also find a wide range of digital resources on art, architecture, and drama on the library's website. Arts Library Special Collections (ALSC) on the lower level, features unique and rare materials related to art, architecture, and drama, such as 18th- 19th- century works on artists and architecture, fine press, and artists' books.

ALSC also has archival holdings in book arts, graphic design, architecture, and drama. Rotating exhibits featuring works from the collection are on view in the William H.
