Take An Educational Visit To Folger Shakespeare Library: A Major Center For Scholarly Research

Located in the heart of Washington DC, the Folger Shakespeare Library, that coincidentally was founded on the 23rd of April in 1932, the day that the Elizabethan Bard was born, is the biggest resource center of Shakespeare's work in the world. It houses virtually one in every three of all books and manuscripts available today from the great poet and playwright.

This treasure trove is the ideal Mecca for all those involved in scholarly work not only on Shakespeare himself and his work but in the literature of the Renaissance in general.

Here one can meet eminent scholars from the four corners of the world and those from United States representing over seventy research academies convened in this literary palace to study, read and discuss on a cross section of subjects.
