The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1965, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to photographing, cataloging, and providing free digital access to manuscript collections from libraries worldwide. Operating from its physical base in the United States, HMML prioritizes preservation efforts in regions threatened by war, political instability, or other dangers, with current projects spanning Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, Mali, Yemen, and numerous other countries. As of 2025, the institution has preserved approximately 486,000 manuscripts through digital and microfilm imaging in partnership with more than 1,500 libraries globally. Its holdings also include roughly 50,000 volumes on manuscripts, printed books, art, and liturgy, along with more than 11,000 rare books and 7,000 art objects in its Special Collections and Art & Photographs collection. All cataloged materials are made freely accessible to the public through the HMML Reading Room and Museum online.
