The Board of Trustees of the National Building Museum celebrated the opening of The Beverly Willis Library on March 10, 2008, honoring founding trustee Beverly Willis. Willis and Chase Rynd, Director of the National Building Museum, cut the red ribbon, officially opening the Library, which will serve as a resource to the Museum’s curators as well as the center for the NBM’s new Fellows Program.

The Beverly Willis Library also provides access to Ms. Willis’ electronic archives, which cover her work and research over the past 50 years.
