The Rickets Art Foundation does not have research facilities.
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is home to the McCracken Research Library which contains tens of thousands of books and is uniquely focused on the history and art of the American West. Forrest Fenn donated Sharp's cabin studio "Absarokee Hut," a set of Sharp’s papers, along with many fascinating artifacts that had once decorated the cabin. The cabin was professionally and lovingly restored and then placed in its own special garden next to the Whitney Western Art Museum. The Center is proud to include 35 original Sharp works in the Whitney Western Art Museum. The Center is located in Cody, Wyoming.
The Couse-Sharp Historic Site includes the studios of Joseph Henry Sharp and the home, gardens, and studio of E.I. Couse. The Lunder Research Center, an archive and research facility focusing on the Taos Society of Artists (TSA), is moving forward. Spearheaded by The Couse Foundation, the non-profit organization that owns and operated the Couse-sharp Historic site, plans are underway for a 2021 opening.
