The Hispanic Society of America is a museum and reference library for the study of the arts and cultures of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. (Despite the name and the founder's intention, it has never functioned as a learned association.) Founded in 1904 by Archer M. Huntington, the institution is free and open to the public at its original location in a Beaux Arts building on Audubon Terrace (at 155th Street and Broadway) in the lower Washington Heights area of New York City in the United States. The campus was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2012.In April, 2015 the Society announced the appointment of Philippe de Montebello to chair the Society's Board of Overseers and spearhead a major effort to roughly double the museum's size by renovating the now-vacant, adjacent, Beaux Arts, former building of the Museum of the American Indian.Exterior sculpture at the society includes work by Anna Hyatt Huntington and nine major reliefs by the Swiss-American sculptor Berthold Nebel, a commission that took ten years to complete.

The Gladys Brooks Archives at Morris-Jumel Mansion house a valuable collection of manuscripts dating back to 1664, and a library of rare 18th and 19th century books. The collection centers on early New York City history, Revolutionary-era newspapers, and the 20th-century history of Washington Heights. Our goal is to facilitate and encourage a personal understanding of New York's written history for each of our visitors. In 2014, we will be further cataloging the museum's extensive manuscript and records collection, facilitating research for visitors of all ages, and building a dynamic, usable research library.
