The López Museum and Library, also known as simply the Lopez Museum, is a Philippine art and history museum and library.
In 1966, Eugenio López acquired Sotheby’s Lot No. 525 through H.P. Kraus of New York. This lot, originally part of Alexander Dalrymple’s library contain Spanish royal and local decrees addressed to the governors of the Philippines between 1663 and 1752. Uncatalogued since 1966, they were rediscovered in the Lopez Library in 2023 through the 1762 project and are now, through the generosity of the Lopez Library, fully digitised and accessible online.
