The Library Company of Philadelphia and the American Philosophical Society are looking at a ‘closer formal relationship.’

The collaboration between the two historic organizations, which were both founded by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, aims to increase awareness and accessibility of their collections while bolstering research efforts, according to a written statement sent out to LCP shareholders and APS members on Monday afternoon.

Despite plans to work in closer capacities, Hauser said this is not a merger, and there’s no intention to use the term given the nature of their partnership. “Nor has any decision been reached about a legal affiliation between the two institutions,” he explained in an email.
