Does the Foundation make its archives available to outside scholars for research?

The Louise Bourgeois Archive and study room is available to curators and scholars by appointment, and on a case-by-case basis, to those researching Louise Bourgeois's work and related themes. We do not accomodate walk-in visitors. For further information on how to request a visit, contact info@theeastonfoundation.org. Include your research topic, and any specific questions, so that we can assess how best you might utilize the Archive. Be prepared to schedule well in advance.

Please note that the cataloguing of the Archive is an ongoing project, and not all papers will be accessible at all times.
