Our Collection

At the Institute’s core is the Gilder Lehrman Collection, one of the great archives in American history. More than 85,000 items cover five hundred years of American history, from Columbus’s 1493 letter describing the New World through the end of the twentieth century.

Sherwood, Joseph Reporting, "…the government here will require 10,000 troops to be kept in pay by the Northern colonies."
