Description:About the Rosenbach Museum & Library: "The Rosenbach Museum & Library was founded in 1954 through a testamentary gift by Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach (1876-1952) and his brother, Philip (1863-1953). Renowned dealers in books, manuscripts, and fine art, the brothers played a central role in the development of private libraries that later became our nation's most important public collections of rare books, such as the Folger and Huntington Libraries. The brothers' own personal collection, now the core of the Rosenbach, features treasures the brothers were unable to part with, including the only surviving copy of Benjamin Franklin's first Poor Richard Almanac and the manuscript of James Joyce's Ulysses. The collection has since grown to include the papers of poet Marianne Moore, Bram Stoker's notes forDracula, and the drawings of Maurice Sendak, adding richness and relevance to the experience of visiting the Rosenbach." The Newsletter of the Rosenbach Museum & Library was published quarterly since 1985 and is currently published as an online resource. The Newsletter includes articles about featured collections, acquisitions information, staff notes, as well as exhibition and event information.
