Contemporary Art Library has a special focus on opportunities to preserve corners of art history that are not guaranteed to remain in public view, in particular spaces that have closed, permanently or indefinitely, and thus may recede from public view.

These spaces have generously shared their documentation histories with us. Most art spaces eventually close, and we want to be the trusted repository for their documentation.‌
