The Doris McCarthy Gallery Collections hold a valuable range of primary source material that is available to researchers. These materials include public exhibition files for all past DMG exhibitions, collections files for over 1,700 works by contemporary Canadian and International artists, as well as three archival collections which include photographs, correspondence, slides, books, and exhibition documentation.
Our archival holdings include:
- The Doris McCarthy Fonds (1872-2011)
- The Cold City Gallery Archive (1986-1999)
- The Gallery at the University of Toronto Scarborough Archives (1970-2003)
These materials are available to researchers by prior appointment only and may be subject to some restrictions as per the Gallery’s Collections Use Policy (2012). Digital images and photocopies may be made available to researchers, as per the Gallery’s Reproduction of Materials Policy (2013).
The Doris McCarthy Gallery database and finding aids are not currently available online, however electronic versions are accessible on site.
