As the Library Company nears its 300th anniversary, our staff are taking a deep dive into our past thanks to the Library Company Papers Project, a three-year, NEH-funded project to review, process, and digitize institutional records from the Library Company’s founding in 1731 through 1881. Join Library Company Archivist Dana Dorman for a virtual collection review of our institutional archives. She’ll be sharing a selection of documents from the Library Company’s first 150 years of operations, including minutes, correspondence, shareholder records, financial documents, book orders, and much more.
