The State of Our Library: 200 Years of Serving the Commonwealth Virtual Exhibit

As the State Library celebrates its 200th anniversary this year, our new exhibit showcases both its impressive history and current offerings. Using published documents, historical photographs and artifacts, and archival materials from the Library’s institutional records, the exhibit highlights our various services, resources, and technologies, as well as the changes and expansions to its physical space that have occurred over the last 200 years.
