Synopsis

A year-in-review of The Newberry Library’s 1913 progress and priorities. This report traces careful buying, gifted materials, and public service efforts that broaden access to a deep mass of books, maps, and manuscripts.

In 1913 the library broadened its holdings with about 2,500 newly selected titles, adding 3,800 volumes at an estimated cost of $15,000. The Edward E. Ayer Americana Collection welcomed hundreds of items, while significant manuscripts and printed works expanded the library’s capacity for study in American history, linguistics, botany, and more. Public activities included three notable exhibitions and two new publications, all aimed at informing and engaging researchers and visitors.

What readers will experience or learn:
- A clear view of how acquisitions, gifts, and cataloging shaped the collections that year
- Insights into public service, exhibitions, and scholarly outreach at The Newberry Library
- An outline of the technical processes that organize and preserve the library’s holdings
- Context on the library’s growth, including accessions, cataloging, and governance

Ideal for readers of library history, archival practice, and early 20th‑century American scholarship.
