The Rourke's Archives & Reading Room have begun to make our institution's 66-year material history available to students, artists, collectors, scholars, and guests. With our exhibition and events files (available for browsing!), our collection of over 650 texts on various subjects, and small rotating exhibitions, we offer this a special space within the museum to reflect upon the incredible artistic legacy of our region.

Thanks to Legacy Grant funds from the Lake Region Arts Council, we have acquired key pieces of equipment as we embark upon the exciting work of digitizing our archive collections, making our books searchable online, and providing a research space for artists and scholars of all ages.
Exhibitions and operations are supported in part by the generous support of the following regional, state, and local entities:
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
Operation support is provided in part by
​the FM Area Foundation.
This activity is funded by The Arts Partnership,
with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo.
