Newberry Library

At the Newberry Library, visitors and researchers explore centuries of human history, from the Middle Ages to the present. The library's collection-some 1.6 million books, 600,000 maps, and 5 million manuscript pages-is accessible to all in Newberry reading rooms, program spaces, exhibition galleries, and online digital resources. Since its founding in 1887, the Newberry has remained dedicated to deepening our collective understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us. As individuals engage with Newberry collections and staff, they discover stories that bridge the past and present and illuminate the human condition.
