Winterthur Library's photostream  

Welcome to the Winterthur Library!
We look forward to reaching a new audience on Flickr. What you see here is only a small fraction of the library's photograph holdings. We started by adding views of room and hotel interiors, and offices, stores, and businesses from a miscellaneous photograph collection. Since we don't have much identification on these photos, we encourage your comments and tags. We hope to keep adding more images to Flickr in the future, so keep checking back.

To order high resolution scans of these images, email reference@winterthur.org and note the call number.

About the Winterthur Library
Winterthur Library was established in 1952 as a research center for the study of American art, material culture, and history. The strength of the library's collections resides in three areas: materials that describe the design, production, marketing, and use of American domestic objects and the foreign models and antecedents on which many of them are based; materials that record and illustrate American art and architecture; and materials that document everyday life in America from colonial times into the twentieth century. Our resources include more than 87,000 volumes and 500,000 manuscripts and images.

The library is open to all researchers without appointment or charge, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm; we are closed on legal holidays. The holdings of the library can be searched in our online catalog WinterCat. For general inquiries, email reference@winterthur.org.
