The Raab Collection offers advice that feels disarmingly simple for anyone looking to acquire a piece of history. It applies whether your focus is fine art, rare artifacts, jewelry, or historical manuscripts. “Buy fewer things, but make them the highest quality you can”.

That philosophy has been the grounding pillar of @RaabCollection since its founding in 1989, when Steven Raab, then a practicing attorney with a lifelong passion for history, began building what would become an international business from his living room.

Over nearly four decades, The Raab Collection has grown into a global authority in important historical documents and autographs, advising beyond commerce into scholarship and discovery, placing newly surfaced materials with major institutions and private stewards alike.

Today, under the leadership of President Nathan Raab (@raabnate), a principal since 2005 and author of The Hunt for History, the company continues to focus on authenticity, historical significance, and long-term preservation, serving clients that range from prominent families and lifelong collectors to institutions such as The Library of Congress and the British Library.
