Karpeles Manuscript Library

Founded in 1983 by David and Marsha Karpeles with the purpose to inspire curiosity and encourage learning, the Karpeles Manuscript Library archives contain more than a million historical documents in the categories of literature, science, religion, political history, exploration, music, and art.

All Karpeles museums are free to visit, and the collection rotates between museums three times per year to make these treasures accessible to everyone.
