The Art History/Classics Library holdings comprise approximately 28,922 volumes and serve as a core research collection supporting UCB's graduate programs in History of Art, Classics, and Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology.  Please note: A large portion of the UCB Library's holdings in the field of art history, in particular most exhibition catalogues and critical studies of individual artists and art movements, is housed in the Main Library stacks or Moffitt Library, not AH-C. Similarly, many editions of the classical texts, both in Latin and Greek and in translation, as well as numerous volumes of related secondary literature, are either duplicated or held uniquely in the Main Library stacks or Moffitt. AH-C's collections feature current and comprehensive runs of many journals critical to advanced research in the disciplines of  art history and classics. Other collection highlights include:
