A New Gift for the DIA’s Research Library and Archives: Exploring the Legacy of William Valentiner

March 30, 2025

Salvador Salort-Pons

DIA Director, President and CEO

The Detroit Institute of Arts has expanded its archives with a significant acquisition: 62 containers of personal research papers, manuscripts, and journals from William Valentiner, the first professionally trained art historian to lead the museum from 1924 to 1945. Received from the North Carolina State Archives in March, the files span his entire lifetime and nearly double the DIA’s existing Valentiner records. Valentiner was one of the most talented museum professionals working in the US in the 20th century.
