Yale Babylonian Collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comprising some 45,000 items, the Yale Babylonian Collection is an independent branch of the Yale University Library housed on the Yale University campus in Sterling Memorial Library at New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
Established by the donation of a horde of cuneiform tablets by J. P. Morgan in 1910, the Collection is now home to the largest collection of ancient Near Eastern writing in the Western Hemisphere and ranks among the best repositories of its kind in the world. Beyond the ongoing study and conservation of its own holdings, the Yale Babylonian Collection stands as an important center for innovative research in Assyriology and other related fields.
