Gabrielle Liese Research Library

The Gabrielle Liese Research Library recently doubled in physical space.  We now have a 400 square foot library that houses hundreds of volumes of books on beads, adornment, and cultures from around the world.  The Library also houses the Peter Francis Jr. library and archive collection.  

Our long-term goal is to  publish much of the archival material online.  Until that time, the library is best used in person.  It is open by appointment.  Contact the Collections Manager at 623-931-2737 to arrange a time to use the library and archival materials.
