This website has been constructed by Richard Woodfield [Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Art History at the University of Birmingham]. The site presents previously published material that does not appear in the Phaidon collection of Gombrich’s work. It is undergoing constant revision and expansion. Feedback and contributions are very welcome. Every effort is being made to obtain permissions from copyright holders in addition to the permissions obtained from the Estate of E. H. Gombrich.

The Warburg Institute Archive now also incorporates the working papers and private correspondence of E. H. Gombrich, consisting of some 10,000 catalogued items. To access those items that are open to readers, permission must be  obtained in advance from the Literary Estate of E. H. Gombrich, 6 Celia Road, London N19 5ET. Please allow sufficient time for a response, which may not be immediate, before making travel or other plans. On obtaining permission, please contact the Warburg’s archivist in the usual way.
