Library Company of Philadelphia

Dec 13th, 2022

(Translated by Google) Founded by Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, the library is famous as a membership library, and is also the origin of public libraries in the United States. Twenty-nine of the fifty-odd founding fathers were members of this library. In the 19th century, it once served as the public library of Philadelphia, but it was reborn as a research library and still functions as a collection library for Americana, a collection of rare books published in the Americas. there is In the collection, a huge dry-plate photo original is also preserved, so I remember being overwhelmed by the reproduction photos, which were more powerful than modern photos. Since a fellowship system has been established for use as a researcher, it is a prerequisite to conduct research and make inquiries in advance. (Original) Benjamin Franklin5029 19Americana

Interesting curiosities in this place, behind a mask
Aug 16th, 2021

The library has many interesting paintings, portraits, and old books that were made my Benjamin Franklin and other famous writers in the 18th century. It was very quiet and peaceful which I liked. The employees were nice and helpful. The library is a library and an exhibit which was a surprise to me since I love historical exhibits. The exhibit is small but full of historical Philadelphia books and arts. I would recommend anyone to go there to visit, but the employees want your proof of vaccination.
