Abstract
The William L. Clements Library was founded in 1923 at the behest of William L. Clements (1861-1934), an American industrial businessman and one of the greatest collectors of the 20th century. During his life, Clements, a bibliophile who specialized in Americana, managed to set up an outstanding book collection about the history of the United States, from Columbus’ discovery of the continent to the American Revolutionary War.
