The David Library of the American Revolution is a specialized research library dedicated to the study of American history circa 1750 to 1800. It is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, admission free. The David Library is a non-profit educational institution. Its mission is the collection and dissemination of information on this early period of American history, and the support of related educational programs and scholarly research.
Two things set the David Library apart from every other research institution that has materials on the American Revolution: concentration and convenience. Here you will find almost all the basic primary sources on the Revolution, including materials, such as many documents microfilmed at the British Archives, found no where else in this country. And you will find this material in one building, serviced by a small but highly knowledgeable staff that has no other objective than to assist its users in learning about the broad era of the American.
A visit to the David Library for research would be a wonderful way for a history lover to make a trip to Bucks County special. We cater to every type of researcher: professional, amateur and the casually curious. We also offer special educational events, most of them admission-free.
