The Library of the Administrative Office of the Galleria Palatina was established in recent decades by will of the staff of the Museum. Formed primarily to meet the research and documentation needs of the internal personnel, the Library consists in great part of catalogs of exhibitions to which the Galleria Palatina has lent objects from its collections, catalogs of exhibitions held at Palazzo Pitti, and monographs of artists documented by the Galleria Palatina. The Library also possesses journals and scholarly studies pertaining to various aspects of collecting (collezionismo) in the eras of the Medici, the House of Lorraine (Lorenesi), and the House of Savoy (Sabaudi).

Patrimony
The holdings of the Galleria Palatina Library number 1,400 titles, consisting of exhibition catalogs, monographs, journals and museum guides.
