Perhaps the most documented car ever built. What is the "Bancroft Library"?

Here is a photo I bought 25 years ago before I even knew what Doble was.

I already asked @DuesyGuy what the "Bancroft Library" was but as usual he ignored me.

UC Berkeley's The Bancroft Library houses the Abner Doble Papers, an extensive archival collection documenting the history and engineering of 20th-century steam automobiles. See attachment.. it's crazy how much info there is on these 11 Doble Steam Cars!!! See link here!!!
