CORSAIR Contact Information

CORSAIR is the comprehensive online collections catalog of The Morgan Library & Museum. It is also the gateway to online research resources focusing on the Morgan's collections, such as images and detailed descriptions and bibliographies of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts. Both CORSAIR and the collection information contained in CORSAIR records are works in progress. We welcome questions and comments about both.

Please with questions or comments about how to use CORSAIR.

For questions about collection items, contact the curatorial department listed in the Dept./Collection: field that appears in all CORSAIR records for rare material. If no department is listed, contact the Head of the Reference Collection.

The Morgan is not a lending institution, and does not participate in interlibrary loan programs. Appointments are required to consult material in the Reading Room and the Drawing Study Center.

Information on obtaining images of Morgan collection items and permission to reproduce or quote from collection items is available from the Department of Photography & Rights.

The bibliographies linked to CORSAIR records for medieval and Renaissance manuscripts contain references to books and articles that have come to our attention since 1989. References to scholarly publications that have escaped our notice are most welcome. Please e-mail citations to msbibl@themorgan.org
