Look below to see the entire list of offerings. Boston Public LibraryBoston Public Library (BPL) has digitized rare manuscripts and books, photographs, maps and other research material. Included in this online collection are Anti-Slavery Manuscripts, items from The John Adams Library, rare Red Sox photos and more.
