The Getty Research Institute (GRI) is a program developed and overseen by the J. Paul Getty Trust, an international cultural
and philanthropic organization serving both general audiences and specialized professionals. The Trust is a not-for-profit
institution, educational in purpose and character, that focuses on the visual arts in all of their dimensions. As of 2011
the Trust supports and oversees four programs: the J. Paul Getty Museum; the Getty Foundation; the Getty Conservation Institute;
and the Getty Research Institute, which is dedicated to furthering knowledge and advancing understanding of the visual arts.
The GRI is located at the Getty Center in Brentwood, California and serves an international community of scholars and the
interested public through special collections of rare materials and digital resources. The GRI creates and disseminates new
knowledge through its expertise, its active collecting program, public programs, institutional collaborations, exhibitions,
publications, digital services, and residential scholars program. The activities and scholarly resources of the GRI guide
and sustain each other and, together, provide a unique environment for research, critical inquiry, and debate.
The work of the GRI takes its place within the collaborative context of the Tust as a whole, which includes the collections
of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the international projects and research of the Conservation Institute, and the philanthropic
outreach of the Getty Foundation. The GRI's Exhibitions department develops and designs exhibitions at the GRI and organizes
events related to the exhibitions. The GRI's Contemporary Programs and Research Department also facilitated multidisciplinary
programming related to architecture and the contemporary arts until July 2009. At that time, as part of a larger restructuring
of the GRI, Contemporary Programs and Research merged with the Department of Architecture to form the Department of Architecture
and Contemporary Art and the Scholars Program was moved directly under the adminitration of the GRI's Director's Office.

Master recordings are restricted; use copies exist for most of the recordings. Absence of use copies is noted at the file
level in this finding aid. Where use copies do not exist, production of use copies is required before access will be granted;
this may delay research requests. Advanced notice is required.
The following types of records are permanently closed: records containing personal information, records that compromise security
or operations, legal communications, legal work product, and records related to donors. The J. Paul Getty Trust reserves the
right to restrict access to any records held by the Institutional Archives.
