Library Contents
Now open to all, the Custard Institute Library offers valuable research materials for scholars and the broader public, with a specific focus on the art and culture of the Iberian Peninsula from antiquity to the present. The public availability of the library is key to the Custard Institute’s mission to support and expand academic and educational programs at the Meadows Museum. We invite scholars, researchers, and all curious minds to explore and engage with our resources.
Digital Catalog
All books are listed in an online catalog, or accessed by scanning the QR code provided in the library.
Readers can use keyword searches to research topics and identify books, which can then be located in the stacks by the Library of Congress call number specified in the online catalog.
The shelving of materials is an ongoing process; if a book in the digital catalog cannot be found on the shelves, please ask staff for assistance.
