Collective objects, writings, documents, or items relating to or associated with Benjamin Franklin; a collection of Frankliniana.
From 'Franklin' plus the Latin suffix '-iana' (meaning 'concerning' or 'things related to'), following the pattern of 'Shakespeareana' or 'Americana.' This suffix creates nouns for collections of items related to a person or place.
The suffix '-iana' is how scholars and collectors label entire collections—there's Frankliniana, Jeffersonia, Lincolniana—it's like shorthand for 'everything related to this person or place that's historically interesting.'
