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.

Meet Kate Philipson, the Library Company’s Digital Humanities summer intern. Kate worked hard to create an Abolitionist Walking Tour, as well as a tour of our Logan Room. Both are available for free in the Izi.TRAVEL database. The walking tour features images and descriptions from the Library Company’s collection paired with important historical Philadelphia locations and an audio tour.

To access the tours:                                                                                           1. Download the izi.TRAVEL app on  your mobile device.                                 2.  Search for “Philadelphia” or the tour title specifically (“Abolitionist Walking Tour” or Logan Room Guide”)
