The Crawford Library is a library of early books about philately formed between 1898 and 1913[1] by James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford. By the time of his death in 1913, Crawford was thought to have amassed the greatest philatelic library of his time.[2] Today, the library is part of the British Library Philatelic Collections.[1]
