The Sherman Fairchild Reading Room provides access to the Morgan’s remarkable collection of rare materials, spanning from antiquity to the present day as well as a comprehensive reference collection that supports research in the Morgan’s collecting areas. We endeavor to make materials accessible for research purposes while ensuring the long-term preservation of the collection.
For rare and reference material selection for your appointment, please search our online catalog CORSAIR.
