Architects' rendering of the proposed Wythe Rare Books Room at the College of William & Mary's Wolf Law Library (ARIVE Architecture & Interiors).

In 2005, the Wolf Law Library began a project to replicate the library of William & Mary's (and America's) first law professor, George Wythe, who assembled one of the most important libraries in eighteenth-century Virginia. Wythe's library of nearly 500 titles, including Western classics, history, philosophy, science, mathematics, and law had a direct impact on the development of Virginia law and the law of the new nation. The George Wythe Collection at William & Mary focuses on items of a legal nature, but our collection reflects the breadth of Wythe's interests. For information on how we selected items for the Wolf Law Library's Wythe Collection, see Wythe's Library.
