Welcome to the Boston Athenæum | Boston Athenæum Founded in 1807, the Boston Athenæum is one of America’s oldest and most historically significant cultural institutions.  Its assets are many: an engaged and sophisticated membership of 5,000; a beloved National Historic Landmark building in the heart of the city, with some of the most beautiful interiors in North America; a significant endowment; a professionally qualified staff of 44; research and circulating book collections totaling 480,000 volumes; special collections of 130,000 rare books and works of art, important not only for their size and intrinsic value, but because they were among the first collections of their kind formed in America; and, perhaps most importantly, a powerful history that becomes an almost palpable presence.
