Abstract

The library and archive at the Institute of International Visual Arts (inIVA) in London aims to redress the existing lack of resources in the UK relating to contemporary visual arts and artists from a plurality of cultures and cultural backgrounds. Opened in June 1995, the library hopes to become a centre for study, exchange, and promotion of artists working in the UK and abroad. The library will be fully automated by the end of 1995 and hopefully the catalogue will be accessible remotely on the Internet by 1996.
