Located in Oak Park, on the lower level of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust Research Center is comprised of over 1,100 reference collection items and 400 circulating collection items and is served by two library staff members.
The main focus of the collections in the Museum and the Research Center is the architectural and design legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the context surrounding his work in the Chicago area. Materials range from subjects such as the social history of the turn of the century, early modernism, Japanese decorative art, Chicago architecture, architectural elements, and furniture. Other items include videos and DVDs containing internally produced speeches and training lectures, audio oral histories of the Wright family, and between 1,100 and 1,200 historical images.
