The Byron Reed Collection features rare books, manuscripts, autographs and coins that are located at the Durham Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.
In the late 19th century, Omaha real estate agent Byron Reed gradually put together a stunning collection of coins, documents, books, maps, and other items of great historical importance.

"[4] Reed's personal library includes numerous documents relevant to the founding of Omaha, as well as religious texts from the Middle Ages.
