The artist files at the Edward P. Taylor Library & Archives are a trove of documentation on contemporary and historical artists. The collection is focused on artists active in Canada, and takes an inclusive approach without regard to whether an artist’s work is represented in the AGO’s art collection. There are currently over 14,000 files, typically containing exhibition invitations, press clippings and artist CVs. The files are consulted as research materials by curators, students, art writers and others.
