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.

Last week our conservation staff in the bindery had a creative day of making paste papers. It is hard to not be jealous of all the work they get to do on a daily basis, but sometimes we get a chance to participate. With this project we had that opportunity. Who can say finger painting isn’t allowed in the work place??
