Their library collections encompass more than three million books, pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, graphic arts materials and manuscripts housed within twenty-five miles worth of shelving. The collection contains two out of three of the total books known to have been printed in what is now the United States from the establishment of the first press in 1640 to 1820. All fifty U.S. states, most of Canada and the British West Indies are included in their preeminent repository, which was founded in 1812 as the third oldest historical society and the first to be national in scope.
