 | | By 1940, when Dumbarton Oaks was conveyed to Harvard, the Byzantine Library Collection had some 14,000 volumes, including many important works on Byzantine art and archaeology, museum catalogs, illustrative materials on manuscripts, painting, mosaic, sculpture, and the decorative arts, and the principal learned periodicals in art and archaeology. |
 | | This Bliss library of 2,000 books included volumes considered rare and seminal to the field, even in the first part of the century, and was given to Dumbarton Oaks in 1962. |
 | | The library collection has since grown to more than 26,000 volumes, and thoroughly covers the art and anthropology of the cultures of Mesoamerica, the Intermediate Area, and the Andes of the pre-Columbian and early colonial periods. |
