The Library of Mistakes is a free-to-use library dedicated to the study of financial history, with an outreach and education programme that includes courses, events, and podcasts.Amid today’s geopolitical and economic ructions, its drive is to extend the understanding of this topic so that both professionals and the investing public can avoid the mistakes of the past. What might seem a dry and technical subject is covered with wit and humour.
The original Library of Mistakes has been open to readers in Edinburgh since 2014, continuing a tradition of enquiry stretching back to the work of local luminaries such as Adam Smith.
A hub of research, intellectual curiosity and conviviality, it’s home to a selection of quirky curiosities and a fine collection of books all related to the ups and downs of financial markets and businesses throughout the years.
It’s also a fantastic venue which plays host to a wide range of events and speakers.
