The mission of Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library is to support curriculum and research, and to provide all patrons with access to information in a manner that is rapid, thorough, accurate, and courteous. The library serves the McIntire Department of Art, the School of Architecture, and the Drama Department of the University of Virginia by acquiring, organizing, preserving, and providing access to and delivery of information. Materials are acquired in many formats such as print, electronic resources, digital resources, images, videos, and CD-ROMs. The library's collections are increased each year by means of allocations for books, periodicals, databases, and visual resources.
