The Ryerson & Burnham Libraries are the art and architecture research collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The libraries cover all periods with extensive holdings in the areas of 18th-, 19th- and 20th-century architecture and 19th-century painting, prints, drawings, and decorative arts. A variety of materials important to scholarly research includes architects' diaries, correspondence, job files, photographs, sketchbooks, scrapbooks, articles, transcripts, and personal papers. The complete collection of Bruce Goff artifacts is housed within the libraries. The Director of the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries is Jack Perry Brown.〔"The Burnham Library: A History", M.

==History==
The Art Institute of Chicago's library collection commenced in 1879 as a service for students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and for members of the museum.〔"The Book in the City Beautiful: Scholarly Collections at the Art Institute of Chicago," Jack Perry Brown, Museum Studies, The Art Institute of Chicago, vol. 34, no. 2)〕 Over time, two libraries developed: the Ryerson Art Library, named after trustee to the institute and great contributor to the library collection, Martin A. Ryerson; and the Burnham Library of Architecture, named after another trustee and nationally renowned, Chicago-based architect, Daniel Burnham.
The current libraries are a merger of the two collections. The collection that comprised 200 books in 1884 has grown over one hundredfold as the libraries continue to add about 10,000 new publications to the collection each year.
