Abstract:
The Joseph P. Horner Memorial Library is a research library that contains historical material related to German-American history and culture from its founding in 1817 to the present day. However, it started its existence as a lending library, for the benefit of the members of the German Society of Pennsylvania. This collection contains catalogs, minutes, correspondence, and more detailing the development of the library and its transition to its current form.

The German Society of Pennsylvania’s library was begun in 1817, 53 years after the Society’s founding, for the education and entertainment of its members. From its inception, the library contained books in both the German and English languages, reflecting the fact that English was the official language of the Society from 1818 to 1859. In 1867, Dr. Oswald Seidensticker, professor of German at the University of Pennsylvania and chairman of the Society’s Library Committee, began an Archive of books, pamphlets and manuscripts covering all aspects of German life in America. This collection, now called the German American Collection, contains a wealth of materials documenting all aspects of German American history beginning with the first German settlers in Germantown in 1683, and is especially strong in the history of Germans in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. In 1962, the library was named the Joseph P. Horner Memorial Library in honor of Joseph Horner, a founding member of the Philadelphia Orchestra, who left a generous bequest of $300,000 to the library. In the 1970s, the Society acquired the library of the defunct National Carl Schurz Association. This collection, focusing on late-19th and early 20th century German and German American history, complemented the library’s existing holdings. In addition to books, the library houses sizable collections of 19th century German newspapers printed in Philadelphia (on microfilm), periodicals, pamphlets, and manuscripts. In the 1990s, a project was undertaken to catalog the collections and restore the library space. The majority of the library’s holdings are now accessible through the online catalog: https://gsp.kohacatalog.com/

The Library Collection of the Joseph P. Horner Memorial Library at the German Society of Pennsylvania contains the records of the Library from 1829 to 2015, with the bulk of the collection pertaining to the 20th century. The collection consists of approximately 6 linear feet across 11 boxes, and 17 bound volumes. The collection includes: correspondence, reports, minutes, catalogs, photographs, clippings, and information on library events, including the library renovation project. These materials document the administrative and financial workings of the library, correspondence to and from the library, requests for new books and donations received, and miscellaneous other topics. This collection shows the transition of the Joseph P. Horner library from a lending library used primarily by GSP members, into a research library focused on German and German-American history.

The collection is divided into fifteen series: I. Library Catalogs, II. Minutes, III. Archive, IV. Library Reports and Statistics, V. Book Acquisitions, VI.
