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.

Chief Conservator, Jennifer Rosner sews invisible thread to mount this service flag, representing four Library Company board members and employees in service during World War I. You can see this flag and more on WWI in our exhibition, Together We Win: The Philadelphia during the First World War, opening November 11th. That’s next week!
