newberrylibrary

The Newberry Library supports and inspires research, teaching, and learning in the humanities. 

Our collection—some 1.6 million books, 600,000 maps, and 5 million manuscript pages—is a portal to more than six centuries of human history, from the Middle Ages to the present. 

We connect the public with this history in the Newberry’s reading rooms, exhibition galleries, program spaces, classrooms, and online digital resources.
