Research Resources

Researchers are welcome to engage with the collections via a number of ways:

  • via our online catalogue (http://collections.vam.ac.uk/);
  • in our public galleries (http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/g/galleries/);
  • making use of the National Art Library (http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/n/national-art-library/), a major public reference library for the fine and decorative arts;
  • viewing additional material from the collections in one of our study rooms (http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/s/study-rooms/); and
  • consulting the archives (http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/a/archives/).
