Welcome to our Online Collections Database!

The Dietrich American Foundation was established in 1963 to collect, research, and document historically important examples of American decorative and fine arts and archival material, primarily of the eighteenth century. The Foundation’s collections are comprised of over 1800 objects, and items are continuously being added to this online database. Holdings are made available for long-term and special-exhibit loans to a variety of museums and public institutions across the country. Additional information about the Foundation and the collections can be obtained by contacting Deborah Rebuck.
