As an integral part of the museum's permanent collection, the Walker's archives are a rich resource for study, consisting of paper, film, video, and audio materials, ranging from the private collection of T.B. Walker to materials from the Walker's most recent exhibitions. The collection includes correspondence, promotional materials, press clippings, hundreds of rare photographs, and detailed exhibition files including letters from major artists. In addition, the Walker's commitment to living artists has resulted in a remarkable collection of rare audio and video tapes. By increasing access to this remarkable collection, the Walker hopes to provide a valuable resource for greater understanding of the art and artists of our time.
