John Adams Unbound has been organized by the Boston Public Library and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. This traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life.

Believing that an “ample and well chosen Assortment of Books” could serve both intellectual and political purposes, President John Adams (1735–1826) assembled one of the greatest private libraries in early America. The traveling exhibition is based upon the gallery exhibition of the same name mounted by the Boston Public Library in 2006, the first public display of Adams’s complete 3,500-book collection. The John Adams Library has been on deposit at the Boston Public Library since 1894.

Logos to use on publicity materials (logos are on the web site and on the PR CD): National Endowment for the Humanities, Boston Public Library, and the American Library Association.
