===Archives=== [[File:Taliesin West, view of the southside.jpg|left|thumb|Image of Taliesin West. Wright's remains were relocated from Wisconsin to [[Taliesin West]] against Wright's own expressed wishes.]] After Wright's death, most of his archives were stored at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Taliesin (in Wisconsin), and Taliesin West (in Arizona). These collections included more than 23,000 architectural drawings, some 44,000 photographs, 600 manuscripts, and more than 300,000 pieces of office and personal correspondence. It also contained about 40 large-scale architectural models, most of which were constructed for MoMA's retrospective of Wright in 1940.<ref name="nytimes.com">{{Cite news|last=Pogrebin|first=Robin|date=September 4, 2012|title=A Vast Frank Lloyd Wright Archive Is Moving to New York|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/04/arts/design/frank-lloyd-wright-collection-moves-to-moma-and-columbia.html|access-date=March 5, 2023|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> In 2012, to guarantee a high level of conservation and access, as well as to transfer the considerable financial burden of maintaining the archive,<ref>{{Cite news|last=Pogrebin|first=Robin|date=March 9, 2014|title=Models Preserve Wright's Dreams|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/10/arts/design/models-preserve-wrights-dreams.html|access-date=March 5, 2023|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation partnered with the [[Museum of Modern Art]] and the [[Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library]] of [[Columbia University]] to move the archive's content to New York. Wright's furniture and art collection remains with the foundation, which will also have a role in monitoring the archive. These three parties established an advisory group to oversee exhibitions, symposiums, events, and publications.<ref name="nytimes.com"/> Photographs and other archival materials are held by the [[Ryerson & Burnham|Ryerson and Burnham Libraries]] at the Art Institute of Chicago. The architect's personal archives are located at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Frank Lloyd Wright archives include photographs of his drawings, indexed correspondence beginning in the 1880s and continuing through Wright's life, and other ephemera. The Getty Research Center, Los Angeles, also has copies of Wright's correspondence and photographs of his drawings in their Frank Lloyd Wright Special Collection. Wright's correspondence is indexed in ''An Index to the Taliesin Correspondence'', ed. by Professor [[Anthony Alofsin]], which is available at larger libraries. The [[Oak Park Public Library]] has various materials concerning Frank Lloyd Wright, including one of his original portfolios.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Library |first=Oak Park Public |date=2016-12-14 |title=A closer look at Wright's legacy |url=https://www.oppl.org/news-events/special-collections/a-closer-look-at-wrights-legacy/ |access-date=2025-04-30 |website=Oak Park Public Library |language=en-US}}</ref>
