Library Digital Collections

In an effort to share library holdings with people who cannot come to Winterthur  in northern New Castle County, Delaware as well as to respond to onsite users, library staff has selected a number of collections to digitize. Choosing to represent library strengths and materials frequently requested by researchers, we have scanned dozens of collections and thousands of images and offer them online.
