<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The Lilly Library was founded in 1960 with the collection of <a href="Josiah_K._Lilly_Jr." title="Josiah K. Lilly Jr.">Josiah K. Lilly Jr.</a>, owner of <a href="Eli_Lilly_and_Company" title="Eli Lilly and Company">Lilly Pharmaceuticals</a> in <a href="Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a>. J.K. Lilly was a collector most of his life. From the mid-1920s until his death, he devoted a great deal of his leisure time to building his collections of books and manuscripts, works of art, coins, stamps, military miniatures, firearms and edged weapons, and nautical models. J. K. Lilly's collections of books and manuscripts, totaling more than 20,000 books and 17,000 manuscripts, together with more than fifty oil paintings and 300 prints, were given by the collector to Indiana University between 1954 and 1957. These materials form the foundation of the rare book and manuscript collections of the Lilly Library.
</p><p>The extent to which J. K. Lilly realized his collecting goals was summed up by Frederick B. Adams Jr., at the dedication of the Lilly Library on October 3, 1960: "Mr. Lilly's books cover so many fields that it is difficult to believe that any one man's enthusiasm could encompass them all. It is equally astounding that he was able to acquire so many books of such scarcity and quality in the short space of 30 years. Money alone isn't the answer; diligence, courage, and imagination were also essential. The famous books in English and American literature, the books most influential in American life, the great works in the history of science and ideas--all these are among the 20,000 Lilly books in this building."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
