In the research area of the museum a comprehensive file is maintained of Robert Henri Paintings, together with over 200 slides of those paintings. Many reference books are kept on hand for students doing research on Henri's life and art.

There is so much research material in the museum it would take at least half a day for the serious Henri student and admirer to study. Books which are out of print and unattainable are available under supervision due to their value both on the main floor and the second floor. Genealogy on the Cozad family dating back to the 15th century is available thanks to the generosity of Marilyn Cozad.
