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.

It is #NationalLibraryWeek and our way of celebrating is unwrapping a new purchase of publishers’ bindings. It was hard to pick one group to highlight because we adore every beautiful binding that was revealed, but ultimately settled on this trio of pocket-sized books. We are biblio nerds and we are not ashamed.
