RISD Archives is a member of the Rhode Island Archival and Manuscript Collections Online (RIAMCO), a shared resource among Rhode Island archives, historical societies, and other cultural heritage organizations.
What to use RIAMCO for:
- Search/browse finding aids for many of our collections
- Discover similar collections in other Rhode Island institutions
Searching/Browsing for Material in RIAMCO
Feel free to use the search bar at the top of our RIAMCO page to locate material related to a specific topic. If you are searching for a phrase, make sure to put it in quotation marks to get better results. E.g. if you are looking for archival material on graphic design, search "graphic design."
Additionally, once you are in a finding aid, you may select 'Access Points' under the Table of Contents. You will then see a list of subjects, persons, organizations, document types, etc., that have hyperlinks. If you click on one of these links, you will be directed to any collection in RIAMCO with the same subject association.
