The American Trust for the British Library

The American Trust for the British Library promotes and supports the work of the British Library. In practice, it presents lectures, talks, and other public programs, including events with British Library curators and discussions of books, manuscripts, and library topics. Programs featured on its site include the Bernard H. Breslauer Lecture, "Tea with the British Library," and presentations about Jane Austen and medieval manuscripts. It also supports research through fellowships and shares information about the British Library and its collections. The organization is based in New York City. Its work centers on connecting American audiences with the British Library through educational and cultural programming, rather than arranging private parties or celebrations.
