Huntington Library
A private library in San Marino, a suburb of Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 1919 by businessman Henry E. Huntington (1850-1927), the library has collected a huge number of ancient manuscripts, originals, old maps, letters, diaries, and other materials related to British and American history and literature. Representative items include the Gutenberg edition of the Bible from the mid-15th century, a gorgeous copy of The Canterbury Tales from around 1410, and B. Franklin's handwritten manuscript of his Autobiography.
