Description
The Special Collections Department facilitates discovery and fosters public engagement with rare, distinctive, and culturally significant materials held by Boston Public Library.

We are committed to sustainable, responsive, user-centered stewardship while providing equitable access to the collections and services of the department. BPL special collections are available for the study and enjoyment of all.
