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 collections 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 a bibliography of the books in our collection, see the George Wythe Collection Title List. For a complete list of the books owned by Wythe, see Wythe's Library.
Visitors to William & Mary Law School can view the permanent exhibit of the collection. The images below represent the books as displayed. Select a book to view more details about the titles on that shelf:
