The Americana department specializes in unique manuscripts and scarce printed historical material on paper from the fifteenth century to the present. Inclusive of North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, sales consist of books and manuscripts, as well as broadsides, pamphlets, ephemera, historical prints and photographs. Areas of focus include the American Revolution, the Civil War, early American imprints, the West, Mormonism, diaries, American Judaica and colonial Latin America.

Our team of specialists oversee a wide range of material in this special category, including abolitionist manuscripts, Civil Rights material, entertainment ephemera and advertisements spanning decades, archives, and works from prominent African American artists and literary figures.
