The categories of Action, Orientation, Word, Image, constitute the main divisions of the Warburg Institute Library and encapsulate its aim: to study the survival and transformation of ancient patterns in social customs and political institutions (Action, 4th floor); the gradual transition, in Western thought, from magical beliefs to religion, science and philosophy (Orientation, 4th & 3rd floor); the persistence of motifs and forms in Western languages and literatures (Word, 2nd floor) and the tenacity of symbols and images in European art and architecture (Image, 1st floor) .
Clicking each of these categories
opens a window through which you can browse the subject sequence of each
floor and access both the online catalogue and corresponding online resources.
You can also access and browse the table of contents of the Library in
the Gateway as well as through the map of each floor.
