Scheide Library, Research library in Princeton, United States.
The Scheide Library contains over 150 volumes of 15th-century books, including works printed by Johann Gutenberg and his contemporaries at Princeton University.
William H. Scheide moved his collection to Princeton's Firestone Library in 1959, and the entire library was officially donated to Princeton University in 2015.
The collection includes Shakespeare's folios, musical manuscripts by Bach and Mozart, and original documents from Abraham Lincoln addressing slavery issues.
