Regarded as a jewel in the crown of Magdalene College, the Pepys Library is a rare example of a 17th-century private library. Housing Samuel Pepys’s original diaries, it is one of the most significant collections of books, manuscripts, documents and prints acquired by any private individual, preserved in the original oak bookcases designed by Pepys in 1666.
