The Print Study Center is a space for the display, storage, and study of the museum's permanent collection of works on paper - prints, drawings, paintings on paper, and photographs. At present, this collection is primarily one of contemporary American works, particularly by artists of the Pacific Northwest. Other highlights include etchings by the seventeenth-century Dutch artist Anthonie Waterloo and the nineteenth-century American expatriate James Abbott McNeil Whistler, as well as an early pictorial photograph by Edward Steichen. Still in the early stages of development, the Print Study Center collection is envisioned as a growing one that will eventually include a wide variety of American, European, and Asia works, both contemporary and historical.
