The Bancroft Library, University College Berkeley, California
The Bancroft Library, part of the University of Berkeley, is one of the largest and busiest specialised collections in the United States, situated at the heart of UC Berkeley’s campus. The Library was officially opened in 1905 when the University of California acquired Hubert Howe Bancroft’s personal library. Bancroft’s collection began with the accumulation of books and manuscripts relating to San Francisco and the West, later expanding to encompass the Trans-Mississippi West. He donated his collection to the University of California in 1894. Our collection includes material sourced from the Library’s enormous Social Protest Collection, covering themes such as the civil rights movement and anti-Vietnam gatherings.
