The Lenkin Family Collection consists of more than 5,000 photographs of the Holy Land. The collection was launched in 2009, thanks to a major gift received by Edward Lenkin, which enabled Penn Libraries to acquire an outstanding collection of historical photographs of the Holy Land. The Lenkin Family Collection of Photography at the Penn Libraries, as it is now known, comprises over 5,000 original photographs, primarily of Jerusalem and Palestine taken from 1850 to 1937. These photographs serve as primary source materials for teaching and research across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including the history of photography, architecture, regional planning, religious studies, history, and political science. These physical photographs are original witnesses to the architecture, topography, and archeological exploration of the Holy Land from the earliest days of photography into the 1930s. The collection also includes 813 additional photo-reproductions, a reference library of nearly 100 secondary sources, and an extensive archive of notes and documents. Among the photographs are dozens of images of the Western Wall and stunning panoramas of Jerusalem as seen from the Mount of Olives and Mount Scopus. In 2012 The National Library of Israel and Penn University signed a contract which regulates access to the Lenkin Family Collection photographs via NLI catalogue.
