We try to respond to requests for information within two weeks of receipt. Generally, each page of printout can hold about four to five painting records or three to four sculpture records. If the order is large enough to incur a charge, we will provide an estimate before sending the information. We accept checks for payment, but not charge cards. The inventories reference more than 600 depictions of African Americans in both paintings and sculptures.
Some works are also cross-referenced under subject terms that capture historical events.
In addition, the inventories reference more than 5,000 depictions of Native American subjects, as well as Asian American and Latino subjects. We have images on file for only about one-third of the works registered with the inventories. The images are available for study only in our Washington office. Unfortunately, our image files are not yet automated. Obtain information on ordering photographs of works listed in the inventories directly from the owner of each work.
