Library Company of Philadelphia

Ask    Welcome to the Library Company of Philadelphia's Tumblr page! Founded by Ben Franklin in 1731, we are an independent research library specializing in American history and culture from the 17th through the 19th centuries. This page highlights materials from LCP's extensive collection of rare books, manuscripts, broadsides, ephemera, prints, photographs, and works of art.

The Library Company’s Hurford Center 2017 Summer Intern, Juliana Benitez discovers the appeal of ephemera and writes about her work with our WWI poster and trade card collections on the Library Company blog. Juliana learns that these materials that seemed unfamiliar to her represent an American culture she still relates to. You can read the whole article HERE.
