With approximately eleven million items spanning the 11th to 21st centuries, The Huntington annually serves the research needs of over 1,800 readers from thirty different countries, who create a lively and diverse scholarly culture. | ||
+ | The Library’s distinguished holdings include over 5,200 incunabula—the second-largest such collection in the United States. Assembled through a combination of discriminating individual selections and bold en-bloc purchases, the books cover the map of 15th-century printing. They are especially rich in Italian and German imprints but also include rarities from England and the Iberian Peninsula.
