Search the Online Catalogs

One of PACSCL's near-term goals is to aid all of its members in developing online catalogs and other finding aids. While single-search access to all the member libraries is not yet possible, this page offers links to all existing member online catalogs.

• Search the PACSCL Online Union Catalog. This includes the records of six member library catalogs: Athenaeum of Philadelphia, The Library Company of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rosenbach Museum & Library and the Wagner Free Institute of Science.

  All participating libraries have some part of their catalogs online. Please note that the online catalogs do not yet include all holdings for these libraries.

  • Athenaeum of Philadelphia
  • Library Company of Philadelphia
  • Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
  • Philadelphia Museum of Art
  • Rosenbach Museum & Library (coming soon -- some records online. To reach the partial catalog, use "multi-library" search through any of the other catalog)
  • Wagner Free Institute of Science

  This project was made possible by grants from The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and The William Penn Foundation.
