About This Book

The author offers biographical sketches of the individuals whose private collecting and bequests built the museum's library and collections, tracing how manuscripts, rare books, coins, prints, and drawings entered the institution. Chapters profile prominent donors and their holdings, recounting donations and wills, the curatorial practices that preserved and catalogued them, and the tension between private liberality and limited public funding as the institution matured into a research repository.
