About the Cultural District Library Consortium
The CDLC, based in Fort Worth, Texas, was formed in 1996 by the libraries of the Amon Carter Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, and Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. CDLC's newest member, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, joined the consortium in 2003. The CDLC catalog is achieved through a partnership with the library at Texas Christian University, also in Fort Worth.
CDLC's non-circulating collections represent subject areas corresponding to each museum's collection. The Carter specializes in American art, history, and photography; the Kimbell in European, Egyptian, Asian, Meso-American, African, Pre-Columbian, Oceanic, and Middle Eastern art; the Modern in American and European modern and contemporary art; and the Cowgirl in the history of women in the West.
The CDLC libraries are rich in materials not often found in academic or public library environments, including auction catalogues and prices indices, exhibition catalogues, and commercial dealer catalogues. In addition, the CDLC libraries contain special formats such as artists vertical files, ephemeral materials, archives, microforms, and visual resources dealing with the history of art.
