Ranke Library, Research library in University Hill, Syracuse, United States.
The Ranke Library building features brick and terracotta construction with Romanesque Revival architecture elements designed by architect Archimedes Russell in 1889.
Syracuse University acquired Leopold von Ranke's collection of 21,000 items in 1887, outbidding the Prussian government and establishing the third largest library in New York state.
The collection contains 17,000 books, 4,000 pamphlets, and 430 manuscripts, including first editions of Martin Luther's Table Talk and Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography.
Researchers need to contact the Special Collections Research Center at 222 Waverly Avenue in advance to access materials from the extensive historical collection.
