RISD Art & Design Educators (RADE) invite you to a virtual tour of the Fleet Library Special Collections. Join library staff for a behind the scenes look at materials from RISD Special Collections and learn more about the resources available within them.
RISD Special Collections is the home to over 22,000 important and rare printed books, periodicals, and artists' books that date from as early as the 14th century to the present. Historical as well as contemporary materials cover the fine arts, architecture, photography, decorative arts, and design. These collections provide primary resources and inspirational materials for the RISD community and outside researchers. Each year Special Collections hosts over 120 RISD classes and groups from the greater Providence area as well as countless (over 300 last year) appointments. In the virtual tour, we will share a selection of contemporary and historical collection highlights, fan favorites, RISD student work and more.
