WHAT ARE LEGACY LIBRARIES?

Legacy Libraries are the libraries of historical people (as well as a few
institutions), entered into LibraryThing by dedicated members working from a
variety of sources, including published bibliographies, auction catalogs,
library holdings, manuscript lists, wills and probate inventories, and personal
inspection of extant copies.

The project began with Thomas Jefferson's library, which a small group of
volunteers began cataloging in September 2007 (and is currently being enhanced
and maintained by librarians at Monticello). Since then, more than 150
additional Legacy Libraries have been completed, with another 50 currently in
progress and many more proposed for later addition. Subjects include everyone
from Samuel Johnson to Marilyn Monroe, Carl Sandburg to Marie Antoinette. Once
the libraries have been entered into LibraryThing, it's easy to see how Legacy
Libraries compare with your own, or with each other.


LIBRARIES OF EARLY AMERICA

In September 2008 we launched the Libraries of Early America project, an effort
to create as comprehensive as possible a database of early American private
libaries through 1800, including those libraries about which we may not have
complete bibliographic data (like those frustrating probate inventories which
say things along the lines of "A Quantity of Books").

Data on more than 1,500 early American libraries have already been entered into
the database from a wide variety of sources, with a huge number of libraries
still to be added (and submissions always welcome). For each, we provide all
known information on the library, as well as certain demographic elements
(birth/death dates, places of residence, occupations, any particular provenance
marks the person is known to have left on his or her books, and more).


HOW CAN I HELP?

Do you have additional information about any person or library listed here? Or
about another person's library that should be added? Are you interested in
helping out with a Legacy Libraries project? Join the Legacy Libraries group on
LibraryThing, or start with the Cataloging Guide. Feel free to contact us
(info@librarything.com) with questions or information at any time. Submissions
of library data are always welcomed and appreciated - we know there's a long way
to go, but every new entry adds a little bit to the whole, so keep them coming!
