The Albert H. Small
Washingtoniana Collection
The Albert H. Small Washingtoniana Collection was born in 1949, when Mr. Small visited a small shop in New York City. There he purchased a notebook detailing the boundary stones that defined the District of Columbia in 1791. The collection now contains more than one thousand objects and an extensive reference library. Its maps, manuscripts, letters, prints, books, and documents tell the history of Washington as both city and nation's capital. The collection was donated to The George Washington University Museum in 2011. |
