The Lewis Mumford Collection at Monmouth University's Guggenheim
Memorial Library constitutes the personal research library, which was housed at
Mumford's home in Amenia, New York at the time of his death in 1990 at the age
of 94. Purchased from Mumford's widow by Monmouth University, the collection
reflects his varied interests in technology, architecture, cities, and the human
condition. Of particular interest to scholars, many of the books in this
collection are annotated with Mumford's own reactions and reflections on what he
read. Below are selected books from the collection, arranged by subject. Click
