ben franklin actually played a huge role in that. both of them were from philadelphia pennsylvania and benjamin franklin collaborated with individuals from england to have 50 volumes and to trenton to establish the first connection. the library is open to the public regardless. any one can come in to do research as to physically take out a book and borrow it you have to pay a monthly fee and that is how we were able to maintain some of the volumes today because during the battle of trenton with the british annotations they actually burned the original library and the only way we were able to have any of the collection is if the individuals had to pay a subscription fee and had the books at home so a few years after the battle that was a pleo the individuals published in the newspaper please bring those volumes back. we have two copies today not in the best of shape tha but we are still searching our archives to see if there are any more of that excess. this is the room where the archivist's work. she has pulled out for me to lovofthe

then, we have ben franklin. there is a lot of debate about the role that ben franklin played in the 1776 convention. like -- is immediately elected as president of the convention, but most historians suggest he played a very little role in the crafting of the documents. why might that be the case? why would he have such little time to get involved in the actual crafting, brooke? >> he was writing the declaration of independence? >> he is on the other side of the building for most of the time, crafting that and being involved in the writing of the declaration of independence and he is also on the committee. franklin is much more interested in the kind of colonial wide issues that he is necessarily in pennsylvania, but nevertheless, he is the president of the convention. to summarize, here are some themes. as we have suggested, they are not well known. they are not well known to us in the 21st century, but they weren't particularly well known in the context of the 18th century either. they have a long history of o
