AMOCA received a donation of 3,000 books from Helen and Roger Porter in 2010. The entire collection focuses on ceramics, ranging from periodicals and technical handbooks to text or publications on the history of ceramic art. The collection includes catalogs from exhibitions all over the world and extremely rare books. The Museum’s collection of books from several other donors will also be included in the new library totaling about 4,000 monographs and 2,000 periodicals spanning from 1883 to the present.
