WAM registration site.About: The Prelinger Library is an independent research library located in San Francisco’s South-of-Market neighborhood. It is open to anyone for research, reading, inspiration, and reuse.
The library is primarily a collection of 19th and 20th century historical ephemera, periodicals, maps, and books, most published in the United States. Much of the collection is image-rich, and in the public domain. The library specializes in material that is not commonly found in other public libraries. Read more about the collection

The library was co-founded in 2004 by Megan Prelinger and Rick Prelinger. Read more about our history

Many of these people, and many organizations and institutions, have contributed to the library and helped to make it what it is. Read more about our community
