The National Gallery Research Centre supports the Gallery’s strategic aims and ensures that its resources are made available to the widest possible audience, including both national and international visitors and digital users, as well as Gallery staff. It has primary responsibility for managing, conserving, and providing access to the Gallery’s archive and library collections.
