John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library
313 First Street, Williamsburg, VA

The opening of the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library in April 1997 represented the culmination of a forty-year-old dream at Colonial Williamsburg: to collect at a single location all of the foundation's various information resources on the history and culture of colonial British America, the American Revolution, and the early United States. Through its specialized collections of books, journals, manuscripts, visual resources, and online services, together with its fellowships and conference programs, the Library supports and encourages research in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century colonial British America, the revolutionary era and early republic, colonial Chesapeake, African American studies, the decorative arts and material culture through 1830, archaeology, architectural history, and historical preservation. The Library serves scholars, advanced students, the Foundation's staff, and the public.

The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library is part of the Bruton Heights School Education Center, a 30.6-acre complex of research departments and collection storage facilities that serves as a physical testament to Colonial Williamsburg's continuing commitment to education and research.
