Papers of a City

Rotating manuscripts from the Library's vault — what's most asked-for and least seen.

Papers of a City is the Library's ongoing thread of surfacing manuscript holdings into the Reading Room and into editorial. Each quarter a new selection comes upstairs from the vault, paired with a curator-led tour, a research guide, and online finding aids.
